When this becomes a crisis of availability, and no hybrid solution ala Obama-care or its aborted bastard child Trump-care is available, the resulting backlash will give us single payer. Deny though one may, that is what is coming. The set up is now in place. Own it.

3.  Diversity is not our strength.  European countries (and the Anglophone countries--except the US) implemented their systems when they were more or less monocultural and homogeneous.  The US has never been homogeneous even when it attempted to be monocultural.

It is interesting how often this is overlooked or how important it is.  It is far more likely for people to express altruism toward relatives than not.  It is likely that this is the reason tribalism is the default state of humanity.  Yet more evidence that people are not infinitely malleable as the progressives seem to believe but then respect empirical evidence is really not something I would expect from those who brought us political correctness.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
