Options are good!

The US is already a highly communal, quasi-socialist/communist country with quasi-private sub-sectors. There are huge public and private housing, health care, and education sub-sectors.  A bit of a hybrid. In some cases, we have public/private partnerships.

The task people face now that don’t want to live under totalitarian systems like Russia and China is to preserve those quasi-private options.  They must avoid Big Gov seizure of ALL “means of production”. Can private options be outlawed? Even Russia and China have now allowed some degree of Capitalism.

Winning debates is not enough.  They must win elections, appoint judges, win lawsuits.  In short, put up firewalls. Options are good … for everyone.

A good idea now might be Medicaid for All as a baseline, not Medicare.
