We already have multiple forms of socialized medicine, it isn’t perfect. Burning our current system down and shoving them all into Medicare and the VA system would kill thousands or more people, healthcare needs to be operational 24/7/365.

I think a gradual move to single payer is the way, but even if you could get that passed as legislation, which you can’t due to a rigged senate balance, and not struck down by SCOTUS, you’d need 10 years to begin the changeover. It’s really that massive of a project.

But it won’t happen with the current solidifying conservative governmental systems. Say hello to your future, it’s now.
