I don’t think you will see this comment Dr. Rubin but I do follow you. I have recommended your book to a friend who is struggling with allergies and newly diagnosed asthma.
The point about cash handouts collapsing the insurnce system is spot on. We've already seen how previus cuts undermined affordability for millions. Moving toward universal coverage makes so much more sense than bandaid solutions that just shift costs around without actually fixing access or quality. Rebuilding trust in healthcare institutions after years of politicization is really the harder part though.
Dr. Rubin's explanation of how the cash handout scheme would dismantle the ACA risk pool is spot on. Without collective barganing power, individual consumers would face predatory pricing from insurers who can cherry pick healthy clients. The broader point about years of research funding cuts damaging public health infrastructure is equaly concerning. It's frustrating to watch preventable policy failures unfold when the longterm costs to society are so obvious.
“Lying Frump”
He lies when he pees,
He lies eating cheese,
He lies in the morning,
He lies in the breeze!
He lies in December,
He lies in July,
He lies on the ground,
And he lies to the sky!
He lies when he’s chewing,
He lies when he’s tweeting,
He lies when he’s losing,
He lies when he’s beating!
He lies for attention,
He lies for applause,
He lies just because—
Well, he lies just because!
He lies when he’s golfing,
He lies when he’s still,
He lies when he’s scheming,
And always will.
He lies when he whispers,
He lies when he shouts,
He lies so much
That the truth tapped out!
