People here just have inherently less trust in the government providing good services. It has nothing to do with people below them on the socioeconomic ladder. People prefer the devil they know. That’s it.
Well you got my opinion right at least. Distrust in the government is exactly why I have always opposed government administrated Universal Health Care. Deregulation and elimination of most health insurance still looks like the best path, but things are getting bad and at this point I would support anyone willing to try a radical change.
Of course, Medicare already exists. It just only covers the retired and disabled. And while it has its flaws, it at least covers all Americans over age 65. And it's amazing the ferocity with which conservative retirees will defend their government-administered health insurance.
