Et tu, Jim Morin? We expect that from some of the others, but you’re usually better than that.
No magic wand is needed to make Elizabeth Warren’s cost figures add up. Even Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate in economics who has not endorsed Warren or her plan (he prefers an alternative that keeps insurance companies in the mix more like what is proposed, with less specificity, by Biden, Buttigieg and Klobuchar), concedes that Warren’s plan “passes the test” and that:
a) the math is solid and the numbers add up, and
b) if the plan were to be enacted, if it could pass congress, it would do what Warren says it would do.
Universal public health care works in virtually every other modern industrialized nation — better health care outcomes for half the per capita expense. The idea that it can’t work here is the opposite of “American exceptionalism” — it is saying you believe Americans are less capable and less worthy than those in all the other countries where it is an amazing success.
Be honest, Mr Morin. You can state your preference for a different approach if you’re into perpetuating corporate profits for the Big Insurance bullies who have ripped off consumers for decades, but trying to refute solid numbers, backed up by top economists, makes YOU the teller of fairy tales.
