COVID-19 & US healthcare system - thread relapse

[DHBirr]

Also, your postal service is required to prefund all its pensions until the 2080s, a unique requirement added by the Republicans somewhere around 2006 to 'prove' that it wouldn't work.

That just shows they Did Not Do The Research. Federal pensions in Canada have been funded that way for decades - why wouldn't it work in the USA?

Because as hazard said, though about NYC's healthcare system, it's "deliberately being sabotaged by the highest level of government."  The prefunding requirement for USPS was never intended to be functional, and the Republicans in Congress cheated to keep it from working.
