DLF,
You imply that you maybe would have supported universal healthcare when times were better. The history is though that every democrat that has tried to bring it in has been defeated by a combination of the republicans and the vested interests, doctors,insurers etc. ( plus a less-than-determined democratic party machine ). Maybe a pandemic causing the uninsured to be dying in their thousands on the streets of your great cities causing further disease and death is what is required to facilitate the change.
Would such a spectacle change your mind?

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
