Our health insurance industry is a massive employer. It would take about two decades for us to transition without any negative economic repercussions. It's the same problem I have with the ideas of simplifying the tax code or making college education 100% free. There are jobs at stake when we do these things. People make a living off the complexities of our systems.

I think the ACA system is severely underrated and will work provided saboteurs stop saboteuring and expand Medicaid.

Yeah, but the financial industry didn't stop existing. It grew back.

People will literally have to be retrained to take different jobs.

Healthcare administration would probably see a downsizing. That does require a specialized degree and/or certifications.
