This was supposed to be the year blue states created government-run health insurance plans. But legislation around the country to craft a so-called public option has stalled over political and financial roadblocks

This was supposed to be the year blue states created government-run health insurance plans, after health care-fueled midterm election victories.

The public option has appeal among some moderate Democratic officials hoping to harness the base’s energetic support for Medicare for All in the 2020 elections — while skirting the political risk of embracing the full single-payer overhaul that Republicans decry as socialism.

"If legislators are saying they need more time to get the details right, taking one more year to do that sounds fine," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "I think that people would lose patience after that."

It Was Built To Fail

Vermont tried a healthcare program but it failed due to high costs. Vermont politicians then tried to raise taxes to cover the costs but taxpayers refused the huge tax increase-the program died. Healthcare/ prescription costs have to decrease first, then a universal program.

Was never going to happen, was always a step towards national healthcare

Gosh, you don't say? So, you mean to tell me that politicians make promises to get elected, and then fail to enact said promises? Well I'll be!
