It's a puzzling but stubbornly true aspect of the US electorate: replacing private insurance with a universal program polls at like 20%. People like the idea of a universal health insurance program but don't, themselves, want to be enrolled in it.
How do you interpret the most recent results differently?

(Feel free to read some sarcasm / blind adherence to democracy into the earlier post, but its hard to interpret the election results in another way.)
