IF we get a majority Congress

[Beachnutt]

can we get Universal Healthcare in this RICHEST country on the planet ?

1. Since we will have extremely thin majorities, probably not.

Our majority in the House, if we have one, will be much smaller than it was the past two years. And our majority in the Senate will only be one vote stronger than now, and its unclear that the votes to eliminate the filibuster (apart possibly on a narrow basis to address voting rights) would be there.

2. 60-vote filibuster problem.

5. Not to mention the narrowest of margins in the House

I can't see something that drastic and controversial passing a House that evenly divided.

Swinging for the fences will just get us strikeouts. Small measures are what will be possible.

3. No.

Haven’t we had majorities the last two years???

You’ll get similar to what you had since January 2021.

4. Yes exactly, nothing changes.

6. The Senate would have to do away with their filibuster & Manchin is not on board with that.

7. The richest country in the history of the world is not about to take of its people.

There is no political will to give Americans what the rest of the modern democracies have.
