There is no barrier for Congress to make a law to create a program of Federal Government made generic drugs with distribution straight to patients. This would, in theory, upend for-profit Pharma system. U.S. relies on private generics from India/China; 60-90% supply.

Two main contributors enabled our modern global positioning system (GPS): Albert Einstein and Gladys West. Here's how she made it happen.

Typical path to single-payer healthcare: 1. High costs / gaps → public anger, reform push 2. Govt role grows → covers kids, poor, elderly first 3. Std benefits → one basic package for all 4. Single payer → govt pays bills, private delivery stays 1/3

We need to be careful. To maximize health, stress should be on 1. Prevention 2. Early detection 3. High-quality treatment 4. Efficiency “Capping” (yearly $) may help 4. & reduce 3. & does nothing for 1. & 2.. It risks trading the quality we want for the cost control we want.

“Economy” is the system. The system structure in Democracies is chosen & controlled by the citizens via Publicly controlled Govt. Communist party controlled states is antithetical to this. Removing Public choice & control. Explain this to a “Communist,” they don’t (refuse to) comprehend.

Fascinating that society is both more & less tolerant of differences in others over the last Century. Our brains naturally categorize/group (in-group v out-group.) 1 is chosen to be more positive & other more negative. More “COEXIST” stickers yet social media amplifies the disgust in out-groups.

Historically, most people cannot discuss issues, because they oversimplify. Most on Bluesky are young & grew up with social media. This amplifies the binary thinking & reactivity; making thoughtful discussion of complex issues nearly impossible. (Reading written attacks on an older adult)
