My point is that it's not a party divide, both sides have interest in keeping status quo. It's not just "because you voted Republican" it's the whole thing, top to bottom. And I'm not saying both sides are completely the same, just that it's more than a bit reductive to say it's because of a party line.

That’s bogus and you should know it by now. Democrats have since Obama been pushing for a universal health care system, but Republicans keep killing portions and driving in middle-men HMOs.

But hey - you blame who you want. I have good health care now that I left the US. You keep arguing…I’m sure that’ll fix everything one day.

Universal Healthcare doesn't have 100% buy in from democrats. If it did they would have passed it under Obama.
