How Harris Left Medicare For All Behind
What has stopped Democratic states and localities from providing public health insurance to their workers and their families instead of dealing with private health insurance companies?

(This question is not asked with snark.)
It seems like people being able to treat themselves and their families early on in a health problem would save a ton on healthcare costs in the longterm, which actually ought to matter to public entities.
A city/County like Los Angeles is bigger than most US states, and a state like Washington could make up for some of that by combining state employees with public employees of willing cities and counties.
This is not a "Are they stupid??" question. It's a "what issues (other than lack of political will by Democrats) make this more difficult than it sounds?"

Going to a brunch spot and they have a note: 5% fee on all transactions for employee health insurance and sick leave. Unless you're breaking down every other charge, just increase by 5% and give your employees benefits.
And take another 5% of your profits and lobby for universal health care. We see the sleight of hand to conflate supporting workers with maintaining business profits.

Sajid Javid considers 66 quid a nominal fee to attend A&E? The real issue is that we have an ageing population. Older people are much more likely to have chronic health conditions that require ongoing medication & healthcare. Yet this population is also more likely to have lower incomes (although more likely to own fixed assets as in homes) and qualify for free prescriptions. They are also more likely to vote. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jan/20/sajid-javid-calls-for-patients-to-pay-for-gp-and-ae-visits #NHS #SajidJavid #UK #universalheathcare #ageingpopulation
