US voters have no principles. Even republicans started artistically screaming about nationalizing companies when they didn’t want to play ball with the president.
I'm assuming you're European and just want to make an "America bad" post because this is comically ignorant. There wouldn't be mountains of federal code to adhere to if that was the case.
This is a trope among populists: pass legislation around <thing>, observe consequences of doing so, blame the "free market", repeat.
> US voters prefer the free market as opposed to government regulation and nationalized healthcare.
Because US voters are dumb. (Just for context, I'm a US citizen).
Free markets don't work when there is inelastic demand for a good or service, and an awful lot of health care (unless you consider 'well, guess I'll just die then' as a reasonable outcome) is inelastic demand.
