this is not necessarily a misplaced critique, but it does ignore that supreme court fuckery is what really allowed states to opt out of medicare expansion. the law as intended when signed would have had a marginally better safety net for the poorest in republican controlled states

Yeah and then they chose to blame the president for Congress passing a prettied up nineties Republican healthcare law. And again for their own elected officials refusing to do the reasonable thing out of spite

how much did clinton campaign on the obstructiveness of the congress? seems like a no-brainer to give examples of stuff that would have given voters material benefits if not for the gop's pettiness.

not that i have a bead on the american mass consciousness, but i think the sentiment on congressional deadlock is "both sides are at fault" in the same way that clinton and trump were equivalent in financial and legal impropriate

I've been saying for years the Dems need to be more aggressive in pointing out the Republicans being the main obstacle to the government accomplishing anything worthwhile in our lifetimes. Don't ask me why they always wuss out

attempting to tie Trump to Congress was a lost cause. his support from party elites was extremely soft all the way up to Nov. 9th.

Stories about the American healthcare system always depress me. Especially because our last 3 Prime Ministers have been slowly sabotaging our UHC in order to work towards a similar system. :(

The bottles you can get with vouchers need to be smaller than those you can buy, though.

Otherwise you're encouraging lazy people. :911:
