6. The fault is with those who won't vote for it

But actually, it’s never come to that because our legislators and the pharmaceutical companies and associations lobbying against it that control all of that will never let it happen. Even ACA is not a universal healthcare and it’s not that “affordable” for instance when it became available, my brother who was on an independent private insurance, which was less expensive was forced on to something with ACA. It was almost expensive as expensive as mine is, and it had crappy coverage. He was not allowed to go to the doctors he wanted to and had to get referrals and everything so it really wasn’t as good compared to Medicare.
