Kind of funny how Democrats still have the Presidency and Senate, but are completely unable to exploit the narrative on health care now that public opinion is near-unanimously in their favor. It bodes ill for when they have even less power.

I think the unspoken problem with fixing healthcare is that they are scared of taking away the leverage job-provided healthcare gives businesses. People would be able to leave jobs more easily and they would start demanding higher pay. It could be a pretty significant economic shock.
Perhaps this will be hard for an establishment party, in an environment that has suppressed all opposition parties for generations?
