The normie opinion still lands at pro-growth, just with twists and turns to get there.

That's been a conservative argument for years, but this was a progressive falling for the specific claim that Medicare rates mean your anesthesia just stops in the middle of the surgery unless you pay a giant bill.

Congratulations, you made a company back away from Medicare-negotiated pricing so that the highest paid profession in America can get paid even more. What a win for the progressive agenda!

Lots of misinformation on govt-sponsored healthcare. People envision it as a magic fix where anyone can walk into any hospital and receive any service they want. There is some understanding of wait times, etc. but still the expectation that govt covers everything, no questions asked.
