Ocasio-Cortez: State of US health care is ‘barbarism’ - midwest.social

As someone who has lived in Europe for many years, the healthcare system is one of my least favorite things about the US. Absolute trash. But many people keep voting for candidates who don’t want change, so no change it is.

Candidates who want change are rare.

And when someone does come along, the obstructionist party torpedoes it.
Truman’s fair deal, yeah
Most Democrats I know what a different healthcare system, including myself. I always find a candidate to vote for who want the same.

It’s easy to find a Democrat who says they want change.

It takes 60 votes in the Senate for real reform. The Democrats never have 60 votes, so it’s incremental change. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Because Democrats won’t end the filibuster.

The end of the filibuster for Democrats means the end of the filibuster for Republicans…think about it.
We’re so scared of what Republicans might do that we let Roe die.
Roe died at the hands of the Supreme Court and Trump based on what happened during a Republican majority. Justice approval only requires a simple Senate majority. Filibuster or no filibuster. Result would have been the same.
Could have expanded the courts except for the filibuster.
