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.

Oh if that’s the case, then the same reasoning applies to this plan.

It requires exactly as much political capital and time to accomplish as universal healthcare. It’s just as far off.
