Because I sure would like to have Medicare-For-All.
You recall correctly that I live in Vancouver - a good city with quite agreeable weather.

Ummm, America isn't Canada and different systems and approaches should apply to solving something like healthcare.

We have a society about 11 times smaller than the Americans and we still have a hard time making universal healthcare scale properly. In fact, it doesn't even really work here all that well.
