re: #222 Justanotherhuman

Reading all the comments about ACA, think how simple it would have been just to extend something like Medicare to everyone, with a little tweaking here and there.

I’m all for single payer but we shouldn’t pretend it would be a simple thing, at least not politically. Taxes would either have had to go way up or defense spending would have had to be slashed to the bone. Politically we got what we got both because of and in spite of the Republican Party.

They’ve been absolute dog shit throughout this entire process.
