Quote by Thomas Frank
Yes, Democrats can prove that America pays more for health care than other countries yes, they have won the dispute that private health insurance is needlessly expensive. But what they've lost is the argument that we are a society.
Summary
This quote suggests that while Democrats may be successful in demonstrating that America pays more for healthcare compared to other countries and highlighting the excessive costs of private health insurance, they have failed to emphasize the idea of America as a collective society. This implies that the focus on financial aspects neglects the importance of prioritizing the wellbeing and support for the entire population. In essence, the quote implies that the Democratic argument should advocate for a broader perspective, considering the needs and values of society as a whole rather than merely concentrating on economic factors.
