I’m not a Buttigieg backer, but is this meme fair in the context of this thread?

My understanding is that his statement was in support of everyone being able to choose either medicare or private insurance

I say yes, because he’s ignoring the real issue which is healthcare corp profiteering. A problem he is in fact party to based on his association with McKinsey.

Choice is no comfort when all choices are bad.

“List Price” ?
This is the list price for the NHS to buy - You can bet that they are not selling at a loss.

When questioned about their costs, the insulin manufacturers told The Dispatch that the majority of patients don’t pay the list price for the drug.

ie. “Fuck the minority” and ignore that that minority is growing as things become more destabilized. My daughter has found herself in the minority and I’m worried to death for her.
