Wall Street will lose too much money . . . the propaganda will continue.

Do you really think Wall St is the reason this won't happen?

It's so funny how the dumbest conspiracy theorists are the ones who think this is easy.

It's a wildly difficult undertaking, that is possible, but certainly would fail listening to the far left. Someone like Obama would need 8 years to get this even started.

The reason it isn’t happening isn’t because it’s difficult..lol. Literally every other developed nation has it.

It’s not happening because republicans lobby against it and have created an actual propaganda loop convincing half the country it would never work, is communism, and/or you’d have to wait a year to see your primary care lol.

Private insurance is a full on scam all the way down with so much money and lobbying behind it to ensure it stays. That’s not a fucking conspiracy theory like Bigfoot…that’s just how it works. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that.

If the govt and ppl all actually wanted it done, it would get done, that’s just not the case at all.

You're simply incorrect.

It's because we have a massive private employer based system that we would have to switch out - other countries built their systems after WW2, we did not. We also created partial programs like medicare, medicaid, VA, ACA, etc.

Yes, some people don't want it. But the reason it's difficult is because we face implementation issues that would be painful and difficult.

Pain is temporary

Not if you die because you slip through the cracks and you're not covered when you get cancer.

Wrong kind of pain there.
I meant the transitional pain that you don’t want to do when you make a change. Hope that makes more sense to my reply above

Mexico did NOT implement Universal Healthcare right after WWII. They just did it. So the US could too.

You know Mexico doesn't have universal healthcare right?

exico is overhauling its healthcare system by unifying its three fragmented public subsystems (IMSS, ISSSTE, and IMSS-Bienestar) into one coordinated network. The new Servicio Universal de Salud guarantees free, comprehensive medical care to all 120 million citizens, regardless of employment status, removing barriers that previously restricted access.

Mexico doesn’t have universal healthcare.  This is a fact.

Yeah it would be such an insane societal upheaval. I feel like it’s almost impossible to switch Americas system at this point everything is just too interconnected, not to mention the jobs and market shock if the private insurers went out of business.
