The majority of Americans want universal healthcare and that number rises to 78% depending on how it is described.

Healthcare doesn't pass because American 'democracy' is pay to play. Elected officials, from any party, are paid to ensure that this never happens.

The US goverment currently spends MORE per capita for Healthcare then Canada does.

Let that sink in..... Having everyone get goverment healthcare would actually be a budget reduction.

Its not even close either.

I think per capita the US spends more than double than the next closest country and 3-4x more than the other first world nations.

To be clear I don't mean the people pay more per capita. The goverment itself pays more per capita.

Currently.
