So what exactly is preventing the Democrats from having an event like the '94 Gingrich Revolution so that they can become unified and useful as a political party?

I don't understand the health care debate. We give free health care, with an independent set of government doctors and facilities, both for military and (some) veterans. Moral argument aside (i.e., those groups deserve it more or whatever), what prevents the same being done for civilians? We have the money. It's really jarring to go from being encouraged to see medical over the least little thing in the name of preventive care to seeing fellow civilians afraid to go to the doctor when they have clear injuries or illnesses. What the actual gently caress is this, and why do we allow it? The civilian way of life ought to be as good as or better than the service members who defend them, or else what are we defending?

I just had what is probably a dumb shower thought: set a maximum price that companies can charge for the things a person needs or is expected to have to function in society to the minimum wage. Let them engage in private sector innovation all they want, so long as they keep it cheap. Keep the overall budget for these things under some percentage of full-time minimum wage work. Full coverage health and dental and optometry and prescription (and whatever other hairsplitting different kind of doctor visit stuff there may be) insurance for oneself and dependents? That'll be X many hours of minimum wage work per month. Stuff like that. e: And if they want to raise prices, then let them lobby to raise the minimum wage.

Sure would be nice if all that in-case-you-get-sick tax went to funding schools and roads instead of a bonus for some health insurance executive, too bad single payer is impossible welp
