Krauthammer: US ‘Few Years’ From ‘Single-Payer’ Healthcare
Dr. Charles Krauthammer is a respected conservative voice. I agree with his prediction, which is making the rounds of conservative media. For better or worse, universal health care is quickly becoming mainstream. At this point it is almost inevitable. Like attitudes towards former taboos such as gay marriage and medical marijuana, the public is going through another rapid sea change.
So Hillary & Bernie lost the battle but won the war. Trump, who has trumpeted universal healthcare in the not-so-distant past, and fresh upon praising Australia’s system, may ally with Democrats to get this through.
I personally think it would be great assuming we won’t lose our technological edge (which we will) and didn’t have a crushing national debt (which we do). If all this indeed happens something has to give… we will need to cut back on everything else, starting with being the world’s policeman and the pointless wall.
