There's a lot to unpack here. First, neither party has the trust of the working class, whatever the rhetoric. Second, the candidate that talked about fixing the system, including healthcare, won -- that he was actually talking about breaking it further gets lost in the discourse around both candidates. There's a longer discussion to be had about how to build trust and what can be done about broken political systems, but it's not the parties that can act on that at this moment.
It will take something like the union/wildcat teachers' strikes, that forced Republican majorities with unified control of state governments to raise wages and increase funding, to do anything about healthcare or the many other structural challenges we face as a nation.
