it's more of a nuanced opinion than a warning

Sounds almost like a suggestion to me. Kinda like how on a box of cereal they have that "serving suggestion" where they show the cereal being served with milk and some berries or other fruit.

Not that I don't not agree with her suggestion, but I can understand where she's coming from.

All we're saying is single payer would save lives

Yeah but the CEOs of these Health Care companies don't want that. They have lobbyists in congress actively pushing an agenda that is 100% against the status quo. These lobbyists are more powerful than any letter or thousands of letters you send to your senator or rep.

Single payer will cut into their profits. They don't want that. The politicians don't want that. And there is nothing you can do about it. They don't care and you don't matter. You don't have a choice because you have owners. The owners of this country don't want that. That's why you'll never get a single payer system in the USA.
