Dumbest shit I've ever heard. Let's give up all power on healthcare to a board that is not held accountable whatsoever. Completely anti-american bullshit.

No surprise it's coming from you.

"Independently" run from the government? Isn't the Federal reserve chairman appointed by the president?

Stupid ass moderate mainstream democrats for you.

that is precisely where you land in subjects revolving this specific debate, mate. Because corruption in the private sector ~ insurance & pharmacuetical companies price fixing and fraud is killing the system as well because human nature doesnt change in either case.

mate.

Courts can still hold them accountable. And it is a counterproposal to the idea of politicians/bureacrats deciding what meds are covered and making decisions.

I would rather have a board of doctors than clueless politicians or greedy insurance companies who could careless as long as they get paid. You want a not-for-profit organization and independent to keep down costs while at the same time having a Healthcare system that does not strip coverage.

There are essentially 5 possibilities..
1-government run non-profit Medicare-for-all headed by politicians making decisions, which would cause waste and bloated costs
2-completely privatized system that is profit based and insurances doing whatever it takes to increase profits, even if it means dropping people off insurance at will
3-independent run non-profit national Healthcare system with independent board members of doctors
4-public option that would also be non-profit but overseen by politicians
5-everyone pays everything out of pocket

1, 3 would be completely public funded. 2 would be completely funded by individuals. 4 would be public funded if you choose the public option. 5 is not feasible for 90% of the population
