    Then maybe some kind of job placement program should be made available for all the folks who would stand to lose their private insurance jobs, and that’s written into the transition plan. I’m sure the government is going to need help running Medicare for All.

      this. the work requirements are bs. they need to guarantee a job if doing that and it needs to pay enough to meet modest costs.

        On one hand, sure. But at the same time those people should really already get another fucking job and not help that shithole industry. Their paycheck comes from stealing other people’s paychecks to enrich the parasitic investor class.

        I had a job for a “Medicare advantage” company for a little bit, and it’s the only job I quit without another one lined up. They were fucking scum.

        Fuck that industry, the boards of directors would all be hanged if we lived in a just society.

          what i was saying is if the gov requires people to work to get benefits then they should be providing guaranteed work that pays fairly.

      All the folks who were paid to reject claims could be transferred to examine puplic subsidies applications by oligarchs corps. Jut putting, that on the table…
