I concede there is high probability that Hillary will be the next President, but we should also realize that she cannot simply impose a national health care system on the US. Any system would have to pass Congress as well, and the current make-up of the US Congress give neither side a working majority. Many of the new Democrats in the House are actually conservative by modern Democratic standards, and getting a comprehensive bill through the Senate would be next to impossible, between a 60 vote majority needed and the power of the fillibuster. Thank God for the Forefathers who devised a system where radical change could not happen easily.
