"What is the disconnect here? The nature of private insurance favors healthy people and creates hardship for sick people. Healthy people are not the ones with the problems though."
You could have some kind of welfare system- it would better than govt trying to run healthcare. And it could have less opposition. Of course you already have this in term of disabilities.
You would need to learn from the mistakes made with welfare in the past. Such as with welfare one's effort should be to get people to get a job. With a medical welfare system one should have the effort of getting people to be well. And those in which this is not possible could be shifted
to a disability type program.
But this isn't the problem the Dems are trying to solve.
This is all about bailing out unions. And this is all about making promises that can't be met. And in general, it's all about power and campaign donations.
