"I Was Wrong. So, So Wrong."
May 17, 2022
A single-payer advocate totally changes her mind.
I made that argument so many times, over and over. “The lack of some kind of public health insurance option is crippling the economy! Stifling innovation! Keeping entrepreneurs out of the marketplace! We could revitalize the economy from top to bottom in one year if we fixed this!” was my favorite hobby horse, to the point that even friends who agreed with me asked me to STFU about it, more than once.
I . . . was wrong.
I was so, so, so, wrong.
