Nobody even said "universal" anymore. Its all just "affordable", as though the problem with health care is entirely bound up in the retail price.

Hospitals closing up shop because the cost of insurance and rent has skyrocketed.

The number of doctors heavily lagging growth in general population.

Access to all sorts of specialty medicine gated by region, because there just aren't enough rich people with cancer to justify modern therapy in a poor city.

We're still arguing over Medicaid expansion in states where they're hemorrhaging all their medical staff due to shit pay. If that's my two sides? Yeah. They're equally useless.
