26. EVERYTHING Gets Hung Around the Necks of Democrats, EVERY ELECTION

Because the Repigs own ALL the Tee Vee stations! That is why the country is constantly being dragged further and further to the right.

disproportinate effect on small employers

ACA does not require small employers (<50 employees) to offer insurance.

It is going to take a collapse of the present system in order to get universal care

It's the other way around, unfortunately. Our health care system collapsed years ago.
The backbone of our healthcare system was the city-owned hospitals.
They would take care of people even if they couldn't pay. Obviously this depended on most people having insurance of some kind, and the city having enough money to pick up the slack. That fell apart in the 80s. Many hospitals closed entirely, and private companies bought up the rest at fire-sale prices, and have been milking them for all they can.

Yet we can't just nationalize the entire health care industry. That would require a Constitutional amendment, which would be impossible to even get through Congress (2/3 majority in each house), let alone 3/4 of the states legislatures.

About the only thing we can do is to try to regulate this mess. ACA makes a start at this. More will be needed.

The fact that 75% of the US will be obese…by 2020

The linked article says "overweight or obese". Even that is not a fact, it is a prediction, since it isn't 2020 yet.

Funny how we didn't have this "obesity epidemic" in the 90s. What changed? In the 90s, we had a thriving all-ages dance culture. Raves were happening all over the country. Europe still has this. In America, it has been completely shut down in most parts of the country, with dancing largely confined to nightclubs, which are only open to those over the age of 21, and are really more about drinking than dancing anyway. In the parts of the country that still have something left of a dance scene, there is far less obesity.
