Summary: Paul Ryan’s and the Freedom Caucus’ bizarre notions about health care are exposed as absurd and barbaric. Ryan says that healthcare is a commodity that should be treated like any other consumer product. The Freedom Caucus contends that the free market will provide health care if the government just gets out of the way.
Relevance: The debate around healthcare has exposed the absurdity of the Ryan-Trump-Freedom Caucus positions on health care and led more Americans to consider that the single payer Medicare for All system is the best option for everyone.
Action: Advocate for Medicare for All.
