Luckily we live in a world where it’s possible to invest in multiple things simultaneously. The US already spends more on healthcare than the rest of the world. If it was allocated better this wouldn’t be a problem. Don’t vote Republican, support single payer.
Isolationism isn’t a realistic policy in a world that is more connected than ever.
The Democrats had the chance to pass single payer. Obama had a supermajority for seven months of his presidency. They opted to make it more expensive instead.

No, they were always one vote short of a super-majority. Joe fucking Lieberman insisted on the ACA without a public option. The shitbag had sold out to the insurance companies, jumped ship and torpedoed the one chance Democrats had at real healthcare reform. Want to blame someone for the fucked up version of the ACA we got, instead of what was possible? Blame Joe fucking Lieberman.
He was one, and chose to leave the party in 2006 and become an independent. He did continue to caucus with with Democrats. However, he also endorsed John McCain in 2008.
Yes, Democrats were within a dick hair of getting a public option but fell one vote short. Mind you, the super majority vote was only necessary because of the GOP filibustering the entire ACA, even the watered down version. We would have had better health care in this country, if the GOP wasn’t hell bent of preventing it. Could Democrats do better? Yes, but the lack of a public option is very much the fault of the GOP and Joe fucking Lieberman.
The reason we don’t have healthcare in the U.S. is conservatives. If we shipped our conservatives to Russia, we could simultanously achieve healthcare in the U.S. and rid ourselves of our primary hindrance to all other progress.

Oh, I agree.
The problem is you all delude yourselves into thinking Democrats aren’t conservatives every two years, despite the fact that they rule as conservatives when we give them power.
Far less deserving than an American who needs to see a doctor but has to decide between treatment or bankruptcy.

Yeah, but they don’t.

Joe Lieberman was a Democrat.
And no, I’ll blame Democrats. Their one chance to do the right thing and they sold out, as they always do.
It’s a shame the people can’t eat excuses.

And Democrats.
And, no, they didn’t come withing a dick hair of anything.
They rule as conservatives and have for 40 years. This is the shit they pull.

Conservatism is a plague long overdue for a cure.

Blue MAGA types will never admit this. They think they are real leftists, how cute 😊
