Maybe the reduced compensation, and lowered barriers would result in a net gain

Our results suggest that the NHW patients may have received prioritized treatment (more urgent ESI scores) compared to African-American patients when lower levels of pain were reported and presumably with less overall patient complaints and greater clinical ambiguity
Whenever I post proof about how shytty the current public system is for blacks. Y’all usually don’t respond and disregard verifiable facts. Which only makes me distrust the public system even more.

You are conflating issues. The suggestion is to give people Tricare Select as their insurance through the crisis. Not to force everyone to go to the VA hospital. Also there is racism all throughout the Healthcare system, both public and private. Talk to Black people that have been treated at private hospitals and a lot of us will tell you we get treated like shyt. Also, look at the disparities pregnancy deaths with Black women.

It is a issue that must be address but you minimize the issue when you say that it is mainly a public system problem, when it also applies to the private system as well.
BTW I use to have Tricare Select Reserve. I loved it. This single rate plan was only $54 a month. I miss paying that. I also currently use the VA as my primary care. While it is not perfect it is better than a lot of private practices I been to. As someone who is Black and been on Tricare/uses the VA , the system is no where near as bad as you are describing it.
I come from an army family. Dad, brothers, uncles, a couple cousins and both grandads. I just convinced my girls dad not to get tested for the virus at the VA because a lot of veterans are getting it by being in a VA hospital. I'm pretty familiar with Tricare, I been in those hospitals for over two decades.
I dont have a problem with a public system insurance when someone loses their jobs. Bidens plan actually fills this gap. I have no issue with it.
And you're right it is a public and private system issue. The difference is, in the private system my girl can make an informed decision to pick a black woman obgyn so that she doesnt become a statistic. I'm against forcing me and my family to go to the public system if we don't want to. You're right black ppl get treated bad in both systems, although its worse on the public side. Me and my family have established relationships with black doctors so this doesnt happen to us. I'm not giving that up.
Again anyone against the public option hate it for ideology reasons not because they truly want to have universal. They just want a 100% government-run system because they believe in socialist ideals. They just wont say that out loud.
Nobody have proposed a serious public takeover of healthcare. Just insurance. I don’t see why you would have to give up your doctors if we go to a full public insurance system. The doctors, hospitals, and clinics would still be private. But, there are several cases of people losing their doctors once they switch/lose their jobs and get different insurance coverage.
why do I have to? Why would I willingly sign up for that?
And again ppl are using this issue to push through their broader socialist goals .
Have to what? Just going on M4A doesn’t mean you will lose your doctor. Also you are pushing your agenda. This thread is literally about temporary giving people Tricare, and you made it about public health care being bad.
I’m not pushing anything. I didn’t even comment in the thread until @FAH1223 tagged me bc no one else commented in the thread. Public healthcare is verifiably worse. You admitted yourself when you said you preferred tricker select over tricare. Why do you prefer the option to pick a private doctor over a public doctor?
On top of that most private doctors rarely accept new Medicare patients and wait times to even visit a doctor will skyrocket.
the biggest agenda in here is socialists utilizing healthcare to push through their broader goals. @F K admitted such. His goal isn’t universal healthcare, he just wants everyone to be forced to be on a government system.
