Congressional candidate John Whetstone supports #MedicareForAll. But what happens to the employees if private health insurance goes away? Most could become government employees. They'd probably be treated better and we'd ALL receive better care.

Something I rarely hear or see discussed among Universal Healthcare / Medicare for All proponents: it was clear for a long time that politicization of medical care—specifically what the definition of care is, and who can have it, etc—was a risk. Over the past _1.5 years_ we've seen what happens when clowns gain sway, and the degree to which "rights" are actually just opinions and slogans. What, then, do proponents recognize as risks, and what are their proposed mitigations for hypothetical universal coverage systems which change policy hands every four to eight years?
I mean, we have women on the right arguing that women don't deserve subsidized feminine hygiene products, and _they_ are taken seriously by people with power.
Note that I am very much in favor of reliably and enforceably apolitical and nonprejudicial universal healthcare that respects science-backed self-determination for all of the covered. But as someone whose own medical self-determination is essentially up for a vote every few years and whose rights are routinely discussed as an acceptable point of compromise among extremes, this is something I care about deeply.
I'd really like to hear some concrete positions on this among the more vocal UH proponents.
