    According to Gallup, most Americans do believe healthcare is the government’s responsibility (57% yes to 40% no, remainder unsure/no opinion). Meanwhile paradoxically, 53% prefer private healthcare over government-run vs 43% that would prefer government-run, so what in the actual fuck…

    America is an enigma.

      You can prefer one thing but dream of another because the current implementation sucks. It’s less an enigma and more apples to oranges.
