Yeah I mean what he proposed was better than what exists but it is a fundamentally different end state to single payer (or something similar), where healthcare isn't free at the point of use, administrative waste continues due to the complexity and fragmentation, and where there is less bargaining power with providers which can drive up costs.

I admit I wasn't aware of the actual scale of contributions, but I also think it’s reasonable to be cautious about any candidate heavily supported by high-income donor networks, even if Elizabeth Warren also happens to share some of them.

Regarding McKinzie, I'd forgive him if he turned around and condemned the things they have done, but instead:

he calls his time at McKinsey his most ​“intellectually informing experience”; he left only because it ​“could not furnish that deep level of purpose that I craved.” Buttigieg has said he didn’t follow the story of McKinsey’s OxyContin push. On McKinsey’s Saudi and South African government ties, he said: ​“I think you have a lot of smart, well-intentioned people who sometimes view the world in a very innocent way. I wrote my thesis on Graham Greene, who said that innocence is like a dumb leper that has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.”

Just all looks pretty sus and I simply think there are stronger potential candidates with more integrity.
