Not true. The first universal healthcare plans seemed impossible only a decade before they happened.

Change happens slowly then all at once. Like pushing over a column. 90% of that time you won’t think anything is happening. Until that first budge.

Most "universal healthcare" still requires you to pay premiums, thus demanding that you work. Single payer systems are incredibly rare and being quickly undermined, most of the world basically just has better Obamacare.

If we were getting universal healthcare it would have been when Obama took office. The insurance lobby fought tooth and nail and have the funding to continue to fight it. We need to work outside the system. This isn’t about lofty ideals that will happen far off in the future, it’s about right now.
