So, just like it’s never “the right time” to discuss gun violence, it’s just not the right time to discuss the morality of the US healthcare finance system.

Suppose there’s a family living in your neighborhood. You suspect 1 of the adults is here illegally, but the rest are “legal”. Would you report them under the reward program that’s undoubtedly coming? I would not.
