    When the US was having actual discussions of single-payer health care (i.e. the “public option” during Obama’s first term), one major argument against it was “do you really want the government between you and your doctor?!”

    Even though insurance companies are literally already between you and your doctor, and they exist purely to extract money from that interaction.

    It’s never made sense.
