politics

My work's been having internal discussions on the following question. 

Do we begin to advocate for the policies that the majority of voters want/voted for even if it destroys historic social programs. I'm in the yes camp but interested to hear your thoughts.

I’m lost on this question as well.  Pushing for a better system that people don’t want is a strange fight.  

I tend to think the questions are being asked the wrong way.  Do Americans really want to pay 50% more for healthcare than Canadians and live an average of 5-7 years shorter lives?  No.

Exactly. They want to see significant change to our health care system. But does that mean they want Dr. Oz to expand Medicare Advantage? Do we support change because it's desired even if it could make things worse?

These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Isn’t Medicare Advantage the most expensive to operate!?
