211. The Corporate Democratic position never tries to sell truly....

.....Fair and universal health coverage. And the distinction of COrporate Democrats on that issue is important. There were Democrats who pushed for it, but got sandbagged by Obama and the other leadership who were determined to kill public insurance in favor of enforced private market mandates.

Institutionally the Democrats have been too corrupt and/or cowardly to push to advance true universal healthcare. The Clintons screwed it up in the early 90s, then abandoned it....Then Obama revived it, but in a bastardized form that combined the Worst of both private insurance and a "socialist" bureaucracy.

Sorry if that sound harsh, but IMO it is unforgivable that the Democrats have never even embraced a compromise system that would offer income-based healthcare as a basic right, without the terms being dictated by private insurance, big pharma and the corporate healthare providers.
