But the purpose is to make it feasible for more people to sign onto health insurance in our current system? Is there a better way to deal with this without major healthcare reform, which isn't the purpose of this bill?

The framing only makes sense to me if the alternative was for him to push M4A or a public option through the covid relief package, but that's just stupid.

The reason I put my topic title the way I did is there was this narrative that people shouldn't worry about "infighting" on the left until after Biden was elected. Then would be the time to push him to the left. Now that he's introducing covid relief that's going to line the pockets of his health insurance donors, I'm noting a distinct lack of pushing him anywhere from the media class. I'm also noting that it seems there are some users who, no matter what criticism, seem to always find a way to excuse, deflect, downplay, etc. I'm not saying this bill should contain comprehensive healthcare reform. I'm noting that he's doing what he promised, and what people on the left expected him to do - he's making sure nothing changes. It's perfectly possible to note that that is very shitty without demanding that a covid relief bill should comprehensively reform the broken healthcare system of the US.
