I never really thought about that before. That's probably why america hasn't had healthcare for all, the insurance companies are lobbying (bribing) the shit out of the republicans.

Health insurance companies are lobbying the shit out of both parties. Car insurance companies would love universal healthcare. It would drop their outlays which would increase their profits.

Maybe you're right and I'm wrong, that would make sense.

I have no insider knowledge, that's just my bullshit take.

I DETEST both-sides-ism, but yeah actually in this case, both sides are being bribed and blocking true progress, just the paid off Democrats have been doing it more quietly by slow playing and avoiding real single payer solutions when the party actually has power.

When was the last time they had enough power to pass anything like that? It would take a 2/3 majority.
