Politico Finds Classless Divide in Healthcare Debate
Politico reports Democrats are a united front against GOP dismantling of Obamacare. Yet, the specter of 'Medicare for All' suddenly conjures a 'rift.' The omission here is the unwavering unity Democrats display when defending their pharmaceutical and private insurance donors from anything resembling socialized medicine, a policy popular with voters. The so-called 'rift' isn't about ideology; it's
about allegiances. While politicians lambast the GOP for undermining nominal patient protections, they conveniently forget their own role in ensuring a profit-driven healthcare system. One might wonder how quickly these 'rifts' would disappear if the industry lobby money flowed in support of universal care.
