Effort, time, and political capital are finite. The opportunity cost of even getting a M4A bill to committee in the Senate is huge and even trying without filibuster reform and having a comfortable majority in both chambers odds downright stupid. You’re not actually this dumb, right?
Republicans do these stupid things all the time and it works. The overton window is so far to the right, that you think a center-right politician like Biden is a glorious hero of the people. If it’s stupid and it works, then it’s not really stupid, now is it?
Biden was apart of the affordable care act, I think he knows better than a majority of people how hard it is to pass any sort of Healthcare bill.
In this day and age, Republicans would vote against founding social security, to give you a idea about how obstructionist they are.
Biden has been a part of the corrupt system for decades and has contributed to it greatly himself. His stupid ass insisted on working with republicans early on in his presidency, after eight years of being Obama’s VP. I dunno, maybe he thought him being white would change things, and maybe he isn’t as keen on that stance now, but I’ve yet to see him or his party take action on actual change instead of bandaids. Meanwhile republicans are allowed to pull every dirty trick in the book to instate full-on fascism. When can I have a democratic party that fights as hard as republicans but for the people?
Small business are scraping by too. All the money in this booming economy is funneled up top. You demand a raise and they will just get the next hungry/broke sucker to take your spot.
I’m British, and it’s a cornerstone of our society. While the Tories have been trying to grind it down for over a decade, I still believe that if the NHS were scrapped we’d see full-scale, national riots.
Sadly, I agree. While the president does not get to dictate this, I always maintain that you get the politicians you deserve. There aren’t enough widespread calls for nationalised healthcare in America…so why would Biden do it to appease a small percentage of people? If you actually wanted it, you’d promote a career politician that focuses on this movement.
I also live in Britain. Unfortunately, a crippled free healthcare cannot be commended too much too. I have heard of people having to wait months for their second appointment after a cancer diagnosis.
American conservatives are a minority that only have political pull thanks to gerrymandering and the electoral college, most Americans are Liberals or Neoliberals as opposed to fascists. Even then, single payer Healthcare polls surprisingly well, though not a majority of conservatives support it.

Biden can come up with the best healthcare plan ever and the GOP won’t approve it because Biden/liberals/Democrats/etc.
and yet they don’t even try.

How about some inflation regulation so I can afford a place to live or you know the rest of the hierarchy of needs.
How about you demand a raise or search for a better paying job?

I am not entirely sure Americans are really partial towards free healthcare

The majority of Americans support it, its generally only the wealthy who oppose it because they would pay more in taxation and can’t cut in line.
Don’t the average american right wing voters think free healthcare and taxing the rich is (evil) communism?
