    70% of US voters want universal healthcare; 90% of Democrats and 50% of Independents.

    Only Republican voters disagree, with something like 30% supporting. (all of these numbers are approximations there are many Gallup polls over the years).

    I’m not a mathematician, but it appears to my untrained eye that 2/3 of Americans want Universal Healthcare. That’s a very solid majority.

    Why can’t Ds and Rs manage to provide what the US voters want? Allow Republicans or anyone else to “opt out” of the system.

    That’s a rhetorical question. bOtH pArTiEs aren’t interested in what their voters want.

    Somehow, Israel can be financed for DECADES without the same level of voter approval.

    50% of voters support Israel= billions of dollars every year

    70% of voters support universal healthcare= no universal healthcare.

    Kinda weird, ain’t it?

      The health insurance lobby fights it and also employers don’t want it because then people can quit without worrying about losing their health care.
