The GOP's Amusing Fixation On Health Care "Choice"

18. and we have our antidemocratic system to thank

There's no LEGAL barrier in the Constitution to Single Payer... Congress is free to tax and spend for the general welfare. All the obstruction comes from the GOP. But the GOP would never have the power it does if not for the system giving them power they don't deserve democratically... or the power to obstruct what the large majority may want.

In that first category we now have the Trump Junta due to the antidemocratic EC which overturned the vote of the People... and the Senate would be in Dem hands if Senators represented people instead of states. Dem Senators represent 33 million more people than the GOP.

In the obstruction department... 18% of the US population now gets 52% of the seats in the Senate... and given Senate filibuster rules Senators that represent 10% of the population can maintain a filibuster and states with 4% of the US population can thwart any amendment.
