There is no way our current government would put the ability of all citizens to purchase affordable health insurance above the profits of private insurance companies. That was clearly the vote our reps made in 2010, can't see it happening now.

The insurance companies would love medicare for all, especially at a 50%-70% coverage.
What they don't love is being punished for the short-sightedness of the democratic party in the 60's. Medicare happened on their watch. The chance to make it available to all was there and they didn't give a f.uck. They only cared about their voting base.
