What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Respectfully, this is why we can't have an actual conversation about healthcare in this country. What's objectively a societal good? Medicine? Sure, but I'm not proposing that we stop practicing medicine. Universal access to healthcare, free at the point of delivery? Also good, and a feature of most healthcare systems in the developed world. The specific funding model where the government runs the entire healthcare system through taxation?

I dunno, seems like it gives good, but not great, results, terrible staff morale, and a permanent state of crisis.
