3. The irony is that the majority of Americans support universal healthcare.

The largest impediment, but by no means the only one, is the Senate.

It is totally unrepresentative of the nation as a whole.

Even some of my conservative ‘friends’, at least those who have traveled, support universal affordable healthcare.

But it will, without a doubt, require the wealthy of us to pay more in taxes. If Biden pounds on healthcare like we did in 18 he will win. He doing a good job of that now.

And nothing will ignite our economy like insuring we won’t go bankrupt due to medical costs.
