“Please, how do I get my brothers and sisters on the left and those on the right to understand we have turned the whole discussion of healthcare into financial engineering? Many of us know ACA as ObamaCare. It is a financing bill. It has community rating in it, so the guaranteed access, but it is a financing bill. It is who gets subsidized and who has to pay. Our Republican alternative was a financing bill. It just had a little better actuarial modeling in it. Medicare for all is a financing bill. We don't have the discussion about what we pay, the waste, the fraud, the adoption of technology, the adoption of cures, the adoption of how we deliver, the adoption of making us autonomous because we can wear our medical lab on our body now. Instead, we are going to beat each other up around here. The Democrats are going to try to make a political issue out of it. We are going to basically fumble because we had trouble explaining that we have turned healthcare into financing.”
