Related: About this forumJust a reminder, Single Payer healthcare is a ballot referendum this election cycle.
However, with the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party making overtures to Australian style gun confiscation the state that recalled 2 state senators and forced a third to resign over an ill-advised gun bill will rally to ward off a further intrusion against their rights but those same voters will drown out supporters of SP.
Of the two policy initiatives only SP has any realistic opportunity to actually save lives. Yet, both will suffer an ignominious defeat because fear mongering has down-ticket consequences.

OP
It's a ballot referendum; like marijuana legalization before it. No monarch required.

(190 posts)2. Why, are we electing a Monarch?
Because that's the only way I see single-payer becoming law. Let's not kid ourselves.

It made the ballot because they got 180,000 people to sign a petition.

Good on you, NU!
The fear that we're going to annihilate ourselves this election cycle is keeping me up at night.
