    The ACA was a national version of the Heritage foundation’s for profit friendly Healthcare bandaid that bent over backward to keep for profit insurer’s cut in and was initially instituted by a Republican governor. It didn’t even put us in the right direction, because the right direction is ending the role of private insurer middlemen in Healthcare, which is yet another national disease we suffer. It insured more people at the cost of expanding the profit base of the market capitalists, the enemies of almost everyone else whether they love that enemy or not.

    The Democrats have never done what needs to be done, take some of the profit from the oligarchs that profit off society and only succeeded with societal infrastructure they don’t want to pay for, and give it to society through the commons.

    Until a party starts addressing the greedy profiteer elephant in the room, nothing can improve, so nothing will improve until this gold plated cesspool collapses, almost certainly by the impacts of capitalist made climate change.

    This system is comically too far captured by the capital market to have any reasonable hope for rehabilitation. It has protections upon protections, both through effective propaganda cannels and then force, to prevent any economic rehabilitation that doesn’t hand even more GDP to the 0.1% at everyone else’s expense.
