Someone needs to think of the shareholders who would need to sell their mega yachts because of this madness.

I am 100% in favor of universal health care. But as a realist I also recognize there are millions of people who work in the health insurance industry who would become unemployed. So that is an issue that would need to be addressed as well. Because a massive increase in unemployment depresses wages for everyone.

Replacing private insurance with medicare would likely need lot of office work and infrastructure so it could absorb some of it. They might also be allowed to transform into smaller scale companies that outsurce their services to the government for these purposes (though they would likely need to downsize). After working in such a hell hole though, some of them might need some workshops in empathy.
In any case agreed they should look out for folks affected by such a fallout but CEOs and upper management can go lip up Trump’s diarrhea for all I care.
