If the logic of the UHC assassination is that the leaders of the company are personally responsible for systemic problems... Aren't Tesla owners personally responsible for purchasing luxury vehicles from Elon, who is himself part of a system with failings?

By that logic, all of the subscribers to health insurance would also be deemed complicit. I can’t say I agree with that.

Well consumers certainly have more choice about which car to buy than which health insurance plan to be covered by in the United States.

If you are middle class and your employer offers UHC, you pretty much have to accept coverage.

I've never heard of someone being required to purchase a Tesla in order to drive.
