        I’m assuming you are including establishment democrats under the “conservatives” umbrella here.

        When the Romney’s Republican healthcare plan called “Obamacare” was proposed, it had the public option in it. Joe Biden immediately removed this provision for “bi-partisan compromise” - this happened before they even began negotiations over the bill.

      After we’ve tried literally everything else. And even then it’ll just be the government paying insurers instead of paying the hospitals directly.
