The Cato Institute put out an analysis last week intended to terrify America of the DSA agenda.

Unfortunately for them, math was not on their side.

I’m sure it’s not lost on anyone that if one suddenly cuts $40 T from arguably corrupt gatekeepers, there will be immense resistance from said gatekeepers.

This isn’t just about cost savings, this kind of move shifts the balance of power built on top of who can afford just basic US medical care. When the US mixed political power with healthcare, the people were always going to be cooked souls (souls) vide.

The gatekeepers should be being literally cut with a guillotine, this is the nice option.
