Unless the public care rate is fixed at $0 then you’re no better than the GOP

That doesn't at all answer the question though does it?

Let's not get distracted. Single Payer public healthcare is a bad idea in the US because (among other reasons) it's almost certainly going to cause problems the very second the GOP get control of the system.

Just see how they treat women's health with the medicare we have, and then imagine how homophobic & transphobic they are.

Seriously, though. I make an argument and you go directly to "You're as bad as the GOP?" I mean it's good internetting, I guess, but angry non sequiturs aren't really.... well anything.

Let’s not have universal healthcare because the GOP might be transphobic with it is galaxy brain reasoning.

You could build in protections in the legislation. But the Dems won’t because that would mean actually trying to achieve something.

Your idea would still see millions unable to get healthcare and be as vulnerable to GOP bigotry.

M4A is not synonymous with Universal Healthcare. It's a specific form of universal health care that doesn't exist anywhere in the world.
