    It’s been 112 years since universal healthcare was first part of a presidential platform

    Ah, yes, back in the days before penicillin or insulin were discovered. Do tell us more about what forms of 1912-era healthcare are not largely accessible to the 2024 masses.

    Do you think Teddy Roosevelt supporters are still alive and waiting patiently?

    I think his plan to offer health insurance to the working-class poor (and their dependents) sounds a lot more like Medicaid than universal healthcare. You know, baby steps.
