Why doesn't the United States have universal healthcare by now? (Serious) - Lemmy.World

What’s keeping people from demanding it?

Because the Dems would need a supermajority in both Houses. They had one in 2010 and still had to worry about defectors.

Look at the record, the GOP is going to fight anything that actually helps people.

The GOP has convinced a large percentage of the voters that they will lose everything if the ‘socialists’ take over.

the democrats have had the opportunity to remove the super majority requirement from 2021 to 2023; again from 2007 to 2011; and again from 1987 to 1995, yet they chose not to.

It’s not red v blue. It’s people vs $s.
