I said during the 2008 campaign that universal healthcare would never happen in a million years in the US.  Democrats would either fail to ever get enough votes in Congress or the right wing Supreme Court would strike it down anyway.

Its simply not possible.  When are Democrats ever going to get 60 seats in the Senate and 260 seats in the House again?  Even if they somehow do, what's to stop the Supreme Court from striking it down again?

If the Supreme Court strikes this down, there will be no second chance for Democrats.  Remembering what happened in 1994 and 2010 when they tried to touch healthcare, even if they do get big majorities again, they will be too afraid to even go near healthcare reform.

These idiotic Dem Presidential candidates like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama need to get with the program and stop promising universal healthcare because its never going to happen.

This charade has been going on since FDR promised it in the 1930's.  If its been 80 years and it still hasnt happened, it never will.
