I would've qualified for the Medicaid expansion, but since Corbett rejected it, I fell into the coverage gap instead. Please tell me more about how there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans, True Leftists. Roll Eyes

Given that if the Democrats had enacted single-payer rather than Romneycare at the federal level, you'd have coverage right now, I think that sort of answers your snide remark in and of itself.

Please name the 60 senators who would vote for single payer.

Given adequate pressure, I'm sure that you could scrounge up the necessary votes to do so. Unfortunately mass organizations have been completely undermined and ignored since at least the 1970s, and so that wasn't a real possibility going into the Obama administration. If liberals focused less on MUH DEMOCRATS and more on building up organizations that could push for reforms they say they care about, they would get a lot more done than just enacting Republican policy after Republican policy. But that would require them to understand that power comes from below rather than above, something that liberals are incapable of grasping.

Have fun going back in time and convincing Lieberman, Lincoln, Hagan, Landrieu, Nelson, and Bayh to vote for single payer.

Excellent work on totally ignoring my post in an attempt to score points for the Democratic Party.

Obviously, given that you completely ignored my subsequent argument which largely explains the first line.
