Medi-share is wildly popular

In comparison to? What does Medi Share have to do with government?

It’s an example of the leverage that sharing costs provides participants. There’s no reason why a government program couldn’t employ that same leverage. It would have even more.

There is a reason - it’s the government. They screw up everything they touch.

The foibles of our government in healthcare seem to be unique among our economic peers. We have working examples how to not screw it up–but animosity between participating cultures gets in the way.

Add to that by virtue of being a “government program” there is force of govt behind participation and contribution. It is not voluntary like Medi-share.

went back through this thread. I didn’t see one post from a prog/crit articulating the vision.

I find this disturbing, given the incessant imposition.

Here’s the answer. When the impoverished class significantly outnumbers the middleclass. When that happens the impoverished class can elect people who will tax the middleclass out of existence and hence income equality will be realized!

Equal misery for everyone under the government elite is the only equality of socialism.

Sure. Ballot box…guillotine…whatever…

…we can’t really predict how it will happen, only that it will happen…sooner or later. It always does.
