Malcolm Fleschner interviews Steven Horn about whether the “centrists” behind the newly launched United States of Care effort are trying to undercut the growing push for single payer healthcare.
Originally, employer-provided health care was a means for an employer to attract the best employees and retain them. Pensions served the same function. As it became more common and more expensive, employers might be open to single payer. However, employer-provided health care does tie workers to a company, so an employer who wishes to retain employees because of their skills or other reasons may still want this control. Alternately, one who wants to compete in selling its products overseas might want to externalize these costs.
It is worse than mere capitalism. It is FRAUD and DECEPTION about what ‘privatization’ is, and HOW these people get rich via privatizing everything. The truth is that they get to BILL THE FEDERAL GOVT ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and millions/BILLIONS in profits. Meanwhile, they lie and create a smokescreen (devised DECADES ago) so that we think our federal govt has limited money! https://whatifitoldyouthis.blogspot.com/2018/02/privatization-biggest-scam-web-of-lies.html

Your employer providing you health care gives them another lever of control .
If the word affordable is ever mentioned by someone it is clear they do not support single payer
Thanks for the segment. It always helps to know who the possible bad actors are and when they start rearing their ugly heads.
Love the segment. Host seems shakey.
This is the real Malcolm Fleschner every day.
