    Systems like that are very hard to change for some reason, so it can be impossible for one politician to rewrite the whole system. It’s a lot easier to modify the system slightly so people can get closer to the bare minimum when total reform is off the table.

      Yeah Obamacare was just a tiny baby step towards universal healthcare and people are still upset over it.
