The UK economy has performed worse than the other 44 western nations since Brexit.

It was bad before Brexit.

Though it's a doomed job after Brexit, so maybe I hope he doesn't get the position

Have you ever watched Clarkson's Farm?

It will make your blood boil about how over-regulated that country is. Nothing will work until that gets fixed.

UK is a political economy, really is death by a thousand regulations ...

One final lesson to be taken from the show is that governments have to find a balance between facilitating and encouraging " or preferably just getting out of the way of " all those involved in doing a thing, and the laws and regulations tied around all of that so that one person's thing does not too much interfere with or destroy everyone else's thing. It seems pretty clear, made all the clearer by Clarkson's ventures, that we are now getting that balance dangerously wrong. Clarkson's farm is a noble venture that is, like Gulliver, tied down by a million tiny threads. As the show makes clear, each tiny thread in and of itself might seem pretty sensible and necessary. The danger is that as those threads multiply, the activity that produces all of our everyday miracles might yet find itself totally circumscribed.

Lots of Red State facilities to close.

So my understanding is the States were supposed to tax the hospitals evenly under Obamacare to get matching Federal funds..

So the States applied for what is called a "Uniformity Waiver". This allowed the State to charge only particular hospitals with the "tax", the tax was then Federal Government matched. So then the State would give the State "tax" back to the rural hospitals as "enhanced Medicaid reimbursement rates", and the State would use rest of the money else where.

IOW Those States that applied for the Waiver were taxing the rural areas, to pay for the urban areas. Private and suburban hospitals didn't have to pay the tax.

All the law did was close the waiver.
The States closing hospitals could have just had a fair tax on all its hospitals, but chose against that because .... idk why..

If you're really for socialized medicine, you should be ok with killing off the "Uniformity Waiver", and the States should apply the taxes to its hospitals evenly.
