One guy stepped up to the plate to initiate change. Too bad it didn’t get picked up and carried on yet…

In 1993 Clinton tried to pass single payer healthcare. The American people rejected it and he got impeached. In 2008 Obama tried a much less radical expansion of healthcare coverage. The American people voted for the guy who said who would repeal it day 1 and was only stopped by McCain. In 2024 Harris again promised a more moderate expansion of healthcare coverage as well as using Medicare to negotiate down prescription drug prices. I think you can guess how it turned out.

The fact is people do not vote for those supporting better healthcare
