and i just immediately called in here and said can we get him to stay up late? always my pleasure, lawrence. a point you made having grown up in canada, knowing that system and looking at this from a global perspective was to the republicans has been simply show me one example somewhere in the world that is a free market health insurance/health care system. there is not on this planet, there is no actual free market health system. that s because no profit-making company would ever choose to willingly ensure a sick person or an old person. they just don t do it. the only way this works is as a risk pool. the only way to cover as many people as you can with a risk pool is to do what most modern countries have done and that is a single payor health care system or a fully mandated system, where it s not a penalty, everyone has to pay into it. it s the only way to get young, healthy people to pay into a system. eventually it evens out.
