Feel free to at any point in the last twenty years. It wasn't done so now drastic action is required to save lives.

  > now drastic action is required to save lives You realise it’s this sort of rhetoric that inhibits moderate progress? If I wanted to kill a residency expansion proposal, and a lawmaker were saying we should let doctors trained in the worst medical systems in the world treat poor Americans, I would run that framing on billboards.

    I've been hearing that for twenty years. #ForceTheVote most recently. Drug reimportation under Trump. The public option with Obama. It's never the right time.

      > been hearing that for twenty years That extremist policy positions backfire? Yes. Because it’s consistently true. See: defund the police and abortion. What you’re suggesting is lower impact and still more radical than a public option or drug price regulation.

        If it's extremist to say "hey we shouldn't spend at least twice as much for healthcare for no reason" then burn it all to ashes, nothing of value remains.
