The only thing standing between us and a universal healthcare system that would:

- cover everyone
- save families money
- cost less
- create jobs
- boost small businesses
- save doctors time

Are the politicians paid off by insurance and pharma lobbyists.

It’s called corruption

Right, the ruling class prefer a system that kills us as expensively as possible to their profit, because they profit from our suffering and death.

There is no other justification for the status quo. It is wasteful with bad outcomes by any metric. We have it because our ruling class profit by it.

And professional trolls who get Dem voters to stay home bc @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social "hasn't done enough." So incremental progress gets crushed, again & again. See 2010 midterms-- Dems lost seats in Congress-- slammed by Tea Party for too much change, bashed from the left for too little.

Looks like we need a type of bloodless New Revolution, that could cure what ails Americans.

The first you listed is the reason and why corruption is involved,not since its inception has America strived to do anything for everyone, never been in the game plan ,separate but unequal creates hierarchy.As one good ol boy once told me if you have what I have how is mine better.

Unlimited campaign contributions are legal according to Citizens United. $$$ = free speech.

The US healthcare system ranks 69th in the worth, after Albania, Jamaica and Armenia. At least it’s above Algeria … for now.

Excellent find. Way to use OpenSecrets! OpenSecrets shows the truth and yes politicians are paid off by the insurance lobby and pharmaceutical lobby. Lobbyists are what are standing in the way. I used to work in Congress. I know this.

We will never have it as long as republicans and lobbyists exist

Sorry but republicans believe what they vote for.

I question that create jobs part as there are entire massive departments at insurance companies and hospitals that handle claims.

Universal healthcare would eliminate all of those positions and centralize them in D.C. or some state capital.

We are not going to do this ever.

There's a reason bribery is grounds for impeachment.
