This is a fiction people repeat with no citation. A large portion of the population wants m4a when it is explained to them. This "system" failure was specifically our elected reps - bipartisanly - ignoring the needs and wants of the people at the behest of their donors. The democratic process failure was when the two parties solidified.

It wasn't pitchfork wielding illiterate rubes (or whatever undoubtedly out of touch "data driven" parody of what an average person is we're operating with) trying to deny a Black man his legacy, it was that Black man's party collectively wanting to be reelected that gave us the "Buy Insurance Or We Fine You Through Taxes" Act.
