No, you confuse ideology with reality. How many people shop at Walmart every year in the US?
Are you actually equating buying software from Microsoft to paying taxes to the IRS? So you would like to have alternative IRSs and pick and choose which one you would like to pay taxes to? What are you trying to say?
You can, after all, emigrate to another country and pay taxes (or not) there. KBR seems to have done that with great success so far.
"If instead the program covered everyone..."
After I pointed out the elimination of personal debt interest as a deduction and welfare to work, you simply backtrack by adding limitations to your original statement rather than admitting that you were simply wrong.
"But also there are particular reasons while it would be harder when you are dealing with health care insurance."
That blog post is simply ridiculous. If the system is working, why would anyone want to get rid of it just simply to get rid of it? If it is not working, there are (BY DEFINITION) reasons to go to another system.
As I have said before, if the private system actually worked well, I would have no problem continuing it. It is BECAUSE it is inefficient, ineffective, about to become 20% of GDP and morally bankrupt that it needs to be reformed.
If the system were single payer and also ineffective, inefficient, about to become 20% of GDP and morally bankrupt, there would be a discussion about moving to another system including a more private one. |
