RIP, goodhearted woman.
America, if you'd vote for change, this wouldn't be necessary. The US is the only developed country where this is commonplace.

You're not wrong that the Republicans wanna go back to the 1850s nowadays. But Democrats campaign on Medicare for all and single payer with no intent to ever implement it. It's a popular idea, but would hurt their bottom line if they ever actually did anything about it.
And our system is rigged against anyone not running as either party, so...
My guy 4 years took us from MC4A being fringe to every primary candidate having their own pitch for it from just doing medicare but without the age floor to complete abolition of private medicine.
The reason it hasn't happened yet is because the demographic that's most vocal for it is also the one that has to be dragged to the polls kicking and screaming to actually flipping vote for it.
I don't believe a single mainstream Democrat would ever stop taking donations in order to actually implement it. I'll still vote for the lesser of two evils until something changes with our bullshit system. Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it
Obama literally passed the best we've gotten in a while, and that was with Republicans blocking every possible detail they could. Stop trying to imply both sides are the same.
