Voters are done with Trumpism, but he will be gone soon enough. Hard to imagine someone like Rubio hosting UFC at the White House, and that’s a good thing.

Buying votes with handouts? Sure you mean corporate welfare, including tax subsidies to fossil fuel companies making billions? Right pal?

Right? It's payouts for me but not for thee. Since when does providing health care for those who are employed but not receiving that benefit a handout? It's what countries do to keep people in the work force.

Problem is no one has faith in our government ever delivering Single Payer that doesn’t suck or eat up 30% of our GDP.
Until then, there needs to be some sort of consumer driven part of it.
As it is right now, all plans are basically forced to be yachts, and we cannot afford as a country for everyone to have a yacht.
Give everyone a dinghy first, no questions asked, no work requirements. Bigger better boats for those with true disabilities, no questions asked.

But for everything else, for example extremely expensive cancer treatments that marginally prolong life, let that be up to consumers and the markets. No more tax breaks or subsidies that inflate prices.
No more employer provided insurance.

It’s easy to ask for inifinite treatments if other people are paying for it. But what if it was our own children who would have to pay for it? What choices might we make then?

You're joking right? Our tax dollars pay for any number of EXPENSIVE things -pointless war in Iran, anyone?- that don't benefit anyone, that eat up our budget, etc. Everyone should have free healthcare - period. For whatever. THe one concession I'd make -and it is in other countries with socialized medicine like Italy (was just there talking to people about it) is there can be a role for private insurers in some situations that are costly- that sort of thing.

Also, you're dealing with people's lives here. It is not a commodity. We need to stop treating as such. And while not an issue for me personally, some people's morality/religion promote or dictate or encourage prolonging life. My Catholic grandparents wanted every, single thing done to prolong life. You're going to have exceptions under the law to accommodate that and that will open a huge chasm. So you won't be able to eliminate the things you identify.

“Free” healthcare that covers everything at any cost results in pretty much infinite demand and infinite cost. We already have healthcare costs dragging us down collectively and that’s with some people not even being able to access care. At some point, in order for everyone to have access to basic care, choices have to be made.
I for one do not want any kind of life, whatever it takes, at any cost. That would be extremely selfish.

Cancer treatment for a 30yo with children? Maybe. Cancer treatment for someone over 60 or 70? Absolutely not. I’m in the latter category. It would be selfish to take resources from young people for older people.

Over 75? I'll agree with you. 60 is still relatively young in today's world.

Sorry, but I really mean 60, I could even be talked into 50. Why should we be foot the bill for anyone let alone people 60 give or take 10. None of us are special. Housing would free up. Jobs could free up but AI puts a bit of a wrench in things. Rich seniors would stop polluting the air with their leisure travel.

How about preemies (some drug addicted) weighing less than 3 lbs. Talk about expensive, plus all the supports often needed as they grow.

Gladly. I’ve already stepped back and I’m in the age group already. Now you. Or are you a politician who creates policies for people but don’t have to participate in the programs you push.

I don’t have millions and will likely leave social security behind too.

How about you? I’m guessing not. I’ll bet you consider yourself a liberal too. The truth is that you’re probably arent a liberal or a progressive when it comes to walking the talk.
