I guess I don't understand why it's such a stretch for you

It's a stretch because I don't think the folks proposing it have thought it through. Just because the current system has problems does not mean that this is the answer. There are unintended consequences the folks in a headlong rush to nationalizing medicine aren't considering. Sure, it may be more fair. If we all sink together, that's definitely fair. Doesn't mean it's desirable.

I earned a living as a systems, policy, and management analyst. I'm used to thinking things all the way through and anticipating consequences, not just jumping to the obvious solution to the conspicuous part of the problem. That's why I'm so sure it would be a mistake and that's why it's a stretch for me. I want to solve the problem with something effective and stable in toto and long term.
