It works in other nations. We just have to have the will. We're spending nearly 1 in 5 dollars of GDP for healthcare. It's already not working for many Americans.
I don’t think you’ll ever get medicare in the United States I’m afraid.
Perhaps in a parallel universe, but not this one.
Every president who proposed it failed to get it pushed through.
Even a Republican, Richard Nixon tried, but couldn’t do it.
There are far too many forces which are too hostile to the idea.
You’d need another calamity like the Great Depression, massive social upheaval and a New Deal II for it to ever become reality in America. In other words an overthrow of the existing order & the people who currently run the country & its system.
In the meantime, keep dreaming.
