Ok but on this issue we are talking about life and death kinda stuff. I don’t know how to respect any position that isn’t one that gets everyone covered somehow.

We’re not talking about wedge issues. On matters of policy, as opposed to the ideological stuff, Americans have generally been pragmatic. If a big gov’t solution gives them the outcome they want, they’ll support it. If a market based solution does, they’ll support that
And I don’t know what false choice you’re taking about. The conversation started because I said that voters weren’t just going to reward Dems for the ACA just because Dem partisans think it the morally right thing to do

I don't agree with your model of the American voter. They don't know what works or doesn't unless there is a huge failure like the recession or the Iraq war. There is a huge negativity bias where they hate the most recent winning party.

Yeah, the idea that Americans have generally been pragmatic is belied by our really poor healthcare outcomes combined with high costs, and many other policy anomalies compared to other developed nations: incarceration, college debt, infrastructure
