I left in 2016, when neither party was talking about it. In 2008, the Obama administration banned the mention of single payer from any of the discussions about the ACA, and also refused to allow any comparisons with any foreign healthcare systems, and I knew the game was up.
Why am I telling you this?
Because if we don't understanding our history, we're going to repeat our mistakes over and over again.
We've been fighting and losing for generations.
