Someone in my friend group is convinced that things will get so bad people will demand radical change. He thinks that’s the path to socialized healthcare. I don’t think this country has the spirit to reach for great things.
Historically the countries where that happened, if they were in this US situation they’d have done that decades ago. The spirit of not tolerating manufactured hardship, that is present in those population, does not seem to be present here.
He thinks too highly of people. But more importantly most people get healthcare through their employers, and high prices can easily be blamed on those employers. Most people are not directly affected by aca cuts, it’s only those others

Historically, great changes are usually preceded by mass mortality events.

Sounds like copium. It’s one thing to think that’s a possibility, but to be convinced that it will happen? Eh…
