A better list would be per capita income. We can afford it. 

Sorry, but this is stupid in its simplicity.  Afford what?  Throwing money after things which don't address the systemic issues I listed?

There is no way for people with pre-existing conditions to pay the same as everyone else without eventually having universal healthcare. None. You know this. 

Well, I suppose I do, but what is your point in the context of this discussion?

I have better than anything universal health care could provide. 

Thank God for that.

That we’re gonna end up with universal healthcare no matter what we do, because the public will never agree to going back to having folks with pre-existing conditions either be rejected or have to pay more. So all of the arguments against universal healthcare are irrelevant. We jumped the shark with ACA. There’s no going back.

I appreciate your ignoring my post for the good of the Leftie cause, but thoughts on that post?

You mean the one where you argue that we have better healthcare than many nations with universal healthcare? No reason to disagree with that. But again it’s irrelevant.
