You're comparing the new system to a system thats already broken and poorly funded. Youre thinking that just because the government is running it, it's automatically gonna be poorly funded and poorly run.

Look at the US Military. It is painfully obvious they have zero problem with funding.

Look at it this way. All I'm saying is its essentially ALL private insurance, but instead of the check going to BCBS whoever, it goes to Uncle Sam, everyone is on it, it's progressively taxed like income. That's it. I'm not saying your taxes won't go up 1T. I've said it before that they will. But you're ALREADY PAYING this 1T. Instead of paying for it in the front end, you're paying in the back end.
