It baffles my mind that a country like the US still doesnt have universal healthcare. Anyone can get sick, rich, poor, fat, skinny, young, old.

Will it ever happen? Will US ever move forward?

Every country with health care has right wing parties.

As long as Americans are Americans it won't. The country is built on 'look out for number one' with ideas of charity and ease for all conflicting with inherent greed and selfishness

Obamacare passed without any republican supporters. You don't have it because democrats don't want it either

Bullshit Republicans destroyed any chance obamacare had of being good

How did they destroy it when it passed without them . Every "compromise" and "concession" was from the difference between what democrats say and what they actually do. Because democrats are bought and paid for just like Republicans.

When one of those other countries figures out a way for the US to do it correctly and can scale to a country the size of the US. Then we can just copy what they do.

Mandatory charity isn't charitable.

This. Single payer was never an option and the government option was not on the table. The ACA was written by an insurance company lobbyist and was passed without a single republican vote knowing that it would still have 28 million people without insurance at the time.

Anybody that argues that 'Obama wanted to help 90% of us but those mean old Republicans forced him to favor Wall Street/the 1%/destroying nations' is overlooking his first two years in office when his party controlled everything but the Supreme Court.

Look no further than California's single payer amendment that just passed and was blocked by dems to see that they are no better than the repubs in reality.

If you're poor or disabled, at least currently, you should be ok. People act like its impossible to get medical costs covered by the government here. It isn't.
