No. Politicians favoring policies that deliberately exclude the poor have failed us for 30 years.
We have never been able to make extensive progress on healthcare because voters elect politicians that fight against government health insurance (even fighting against spending government money on insurance for the disabled and elderly).
Free market ideologues have failed us, not the government. This is painfully obvious if you've ever been in another civilized country (Taiwan, Canada, UK, etc.).
- dreamdu5t 8y agoLet's see, Republicans are for denying healthcare to people who can't afford it (a free market). Democrats are for ensuring access to healthcare for everyone, including those who can't afford it (using taxes, so everyone who can pay pays and the rich cover the poor). It's pretty fucking cut and dry at this point. We can dispense with the philosophical grandstanding.
