If there was ever an argument for national health-care this is it

We support it, at least in theory.

The problem is 99% of voters support Republicans and Democrats, and both of those parties oppose universal health care.

Well one of those parties expands Medicaid, the other reveals it

It is infuriating watching Democrats say they support something but then working against it behind the scenes. I agree.

I wouldn't say support when we only have two choices. I'm liberal and loathe the Democrats. And listen to conservatives, they don't use the word Republican any longer, they just say "conservative values". As with liberals, they know their party doesn't represent what it says it represents.
