I can't think of anyone more universally hated than health insurance suits in this country. And yet we can't even get a measly public option passed. The party that forces through universal, free at point of service healthcare would probably win the next 10 elections by default but both parties are so dogmatically committed to privatisation they won't even consider it

The point is not to win elections but to enact policy, and both parties are the parties of the rich, they prefer private healthcare.

But think how much policy you could enact with a 40 year mandate. These dumb fucks don't understand that if you do something actually good, people will ignore everything you do after. They're trying to force only bad shit down our throats and there is some resistance and they keep losing power every 4-8 years. Enacting a universally good policy like free healthcare would allow them to do whatever evil shit they wanted, and they could just take away free healthcare later on down the line! No imagination in these idiots.

That's just the New Deal Democrats in a nutshell. We've passed that point though, there's no organized left to threaten them into compromise so they have free reign to be as openly monstrous as they please.

Do not think they are rational actors who carefully calculate their moves. Suffering is the point, and by delegating private companies to manage Healthcare, they're allowed to watch people die due to a lack of coverage and pretend as if their hands are clean in this matter.

But if they were to nationalize it... then whenever insurance decides to deny people coverage, the people will focus their hatred on them.
