Every time I've read about an opportunity for universal healthcare to be passed, something apparently insurmountable always crops up. I was too young during the Obama debates to read about this, but I read more about it a decade after. Carter expressing frankly what reads like rage to me makes it feel like the closest chance we had, but I haven't read into the specifics.
That aside, when I read about downsides of universal healthcare in America, I still think the tradeoff is worth it. Even if it means wait lines and decades slower drug discovery, if it meant measurably less rage at the system, I would support it. I know this isn't the thread topic, but the public polled reactions to literal assassination being not particularly negative points to how unpopular the current system is, despite other measures showing it as popular.
Anyway, screw the (political) Kennedy family. Seriously.
