> A majority of the electorate wants government provided healthcare
No. (Come on, read your own source.)
A majority say "it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage." There is a 10-point preference for a "system based on private insurance" versus a "government-run system."
79% of Democrats want a government-run system. But only 46% of independents and 13% of Republicans. Which explains the gridlock. If one side only proposes government-provided healthcare as its solution, it will waste a bunch of energy on it and then be predictably shot down.
