      Not that I think we’re anywhere close, but I’d always expected it to come under a Republican anyway simply because the Dems always had the excuses that put their people to sleep. It’s very opportune for us that this is happening as we head into the Trump years and libs are feeling their Resistance oats.

        The other reason why it could happen under republicans is that single payer healthcare would be a major boon to most other businesses other than health insurance companies and other healthcare system leeches, and those businesses have said so.

          Nah, I don’t see that as outweighing Republican ideology against the government providing public services. It has a chance under Republicans because they’ll be the ones under which the people can be mobilized to force them to do it. Never because they want to.

            Oh, I definitely agree that republicans would be ideologically opposed to more public services. I should have added that it could happen under republicans in my dreams.

      Why not just swallow our pride and coddle Donald Trump‘s ego if it means getting universal healthcare
