I am an erstwhile opponent of single payer stongly


questioning my committed opposition to it. I think that is the right question - if access to HC is a right, is that really compatible with a market, or would single payer deliver a better outcome?

But more broadly, my issue is that our deep partisan divisions combine with our need for immediate gratification to create new norms for passing profound changes to our lives. Norms which over emphasize speed and exclusion of the opposition. Which will almost always lead to disasters.
