The announcement by Senators Lee (R-UT) and Moran (R-KS) regarding their unwillingness to support the Better Care Reconciliation Act moves the nation one step closer to one of two scenarios – 1) a far more private, decentralized system associated with shrinking Medicaid and Medicare (the latter is about a decade away from insolvency) or 2) a single-payer, nationalized healthcare system. The emergence of either system will essentially answer the question of whether healthcare is a right or merely a privilege in America.
