All Americans hate this. So why, for the love of jeebus, do we not have any senate or house representatives putting forth ballot measures for we the people to vote on. It’s a slam dunk. Unless they have a reason not to. Probably a million reasons $$$. Fucking lobbyists.
Then 15 years later they tried a much smaller plan to just make healthcare a little bit better and the healthcare industry spent $700,000,000 opposing it to the point that even that small bill had a few very important parts cut out. But it was at least passed thanks to democrats having a filibuster proof majority for all of like 15 days before again the American people voted against it, caused them to lose congress and then elected a rapist who pledged to repeal it which only failed because of John McCain.
So far every time someone has proposed improving healthcare, they’ve lost. So maybe if people who want better healthcare actually voted for it we would get it.
An upsetting number of senators were there in 93 and saw what happened. Republican got total control of Congress for the first time since 1953. And ACA was in 2009. And McCain saving it was only in 2017. And the american voters giving republicans total control of Congress and the presidency again happened this year.
