"is utterly insane" Asserting an opinion as objective fact. You have completely failed to argue that this is true. Also not only does an employer terminating coverage violate COBRA, in many cases it is also a violation of your employment contract.

"The reason I didn't enunerate every option" You were never asked to enumerate every option, you were asked to not lie about how people don't know what copays and deductibles are. That was the lie you made.

"The rich pay higher taxes... it's immediately recovered".

No it's not. Unless you literally tax 100 percent of all money above a certain limit, the government will not get it back, only maybe 40 percent. You just threw away 60 percent of the funds.

"And making the rich use the same systems"

So what do rich people in countries with universal healthcare do? They use privatised services, just like in the US. So what incentive do these all powerful rich people have to improve the universal healthcare system that they don't even use?

It's unfortunate that you are selectively gullible to believe all the propaganda that brain-dead losers like Andrew Yang generate, but not actual factually-based critique.

"It's literally an empirical fact" And an insufficient one. The fact that the US system is inefficient, does not mean that the end user pays more than they would in taxation. Private insurance is cheaper than Medicare for many people. I personally know dozens of low-income people who opt for private insurance.

"Facts don't care about your feelings"

I hate Ben Shapiro, I think he has vacuous worthless opinions, the difference is that Ben Shapiro isn't the one lying to people on this post right now.
