MODERATORS
According to Gallup, most Americans do believe healthcare is the government's responsibility (57% yes to 40% no, remainder unsure/no opinion). Meanwhile paradoxically, 53% prefer private healthcare over government-run vs 43% that would prefer government-run, so what in the actual fuck...
America is an enigma.

Do you have Medicare? Do you realize how shitty it is? If you don't also buy a private plan to "fill in the gaps" you're screwed.
Government run healthcare doesn't have to be shit. Unfortunately, ours is and likely always will be...
Republican party made a lot of effort to gut Medicare as much as possible, and they are quite successful when they want to destroy something that helps other people.
You can prefer one thing but dream of another because the current implementation sucks. It's less an enigma and more apples to oranges.
