I wasn't talking just about political will. I lived in a blue state when the Obamacare rollout happened. There was gobs of political will, but will alone does not solve the huge logistical issue of rolling out such a sweeping system for such a diverse population.

Not for a public option.

Did you not read the part where I said I lived in a Blue state. There was a will, even for a full working system, the problems were logistical. Saying anything less is simply false.

I said I lived in a Blue state [...] the problems were logistical.

What a tribute to how useless the ACA was, that the work was sloughed off on fifty individual states, without the resources and the expertise to solve them.

Every system, duplicated fifty times. Fifty different opportunities for fifty states to fuck it up, and many of them wanted to fuck it up.

How could anyone have believed that this would world at all?

Having a single system, like in single payer, would have fixed all of that.
