> In reality, just 21% of the public supports abolishing private insurance (which single-payer healthcare necessarily would require) This is 100% false. I know this for a fact. > There is a rhetorical tendency to blame American public policy on conspiracies rather than honestly attempting to figure out why people vote the way they do...snip... Or maybe they just think that single-payer means having to get rid of private insurance, which is not true. > There is, in fact, good evidence that those factors, rather than "rich people" and "party donors" are responsible. So, considering what you have said is not true, those factors are in fact lies and misinformation. > There is, in fact, good evidence that those factors So, if your premise you started off on is 100% false, and you have "evidence" to support that premise, than by definition, that evidence is not good. > Maybe Americans aren't irrational. Your comment demonstrates they are misinformed.
