Not sure what your point is.
you can't start with OK and then link to something that assumes all the jobs (what ever that means) will be lost. my whole point was that it did not make any sense as a conclusion because
1) insurance companies will still exist
2) health insurance sold by insurance companies will still exist (it does in every country where there is public health insurance)
3) if the gouvernment takes on the role it will need a bigger workforce to take care of everything the insurance companies do now. The bills and the accounting and data entry won't magically disappear, at the end of the day the doctors, nurses.... will still expect to get paid.
"OK" acknowledged your point but I'm not sure you'r aware of what some are proposing- AOC wants to abolish private health care and the Federal government is already the largest employer in the US- the last thing we need is to make it larger. It's expensive, inefficient, damn near impossible to fire people for incompetence and it looks for ways to spend money.
The details of what happens post-single payer need to be examined closely if it is to work at all, never mind working well and we can't have any of that Nancy Pelosi "We have to sign it so we can see what's in it" crap.
I have absolutely no problem paying the care providers- my problem is with the health car insurance industry sucking up all of that money and then denying coverage, which ends with them building new shiny headquarters.
