This is not a D vs R / lib vs con issue. It is not a progressive vs centrist Democrat issue either. It's a healthcare industrial complex issue. The US spends 16.6% of GDP on healthcare. The OECD average is 9.7%. (https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=SHA). That 6.9% difference is $1.5 trillion! That's 2x defense spending! That 6.9% of GP is supporting millions of jobs, and to remove an inefficiency like that would put them all out of work. It is not possible to do that in a democracy. |
