Specialized care is not synonymous with boutique care. We have a robust research and development economy in the US that will continue to exist without the perverse incentives of private insurance.

And people all over the world go to South Korea for plastic surgery. We don’t stop being the best because we now pay for the care for every American at the point of need.
Specialized illnesses don’t discriminate by class. Those without means don’t receive the care they need. We are fighting so that the system centers that care instead of revolving around a third party private payer that has every incentive to deny that care.
