I do agree that my computer science degree probably swamped me with political ideas, and my Poli Sci class taught by Tom Flanagan made me into a raging socialist.
It's not the fact that I have grown up in a country with single payer Heath Care, have had 2 parents with cancer who didn't go bankrupt, and realize that my mom would be dead right now if she had to pay out of pocket for her treatment. It has nothing to do with my grandmother (without proper insurance) making a trip to the US last year that ended her so far in debt that her plan for paying it back is to die.
The US health care system is broken, and ACA is merely a bandaid.
