If an American president fixes the healthcare, they can win every other election right? So, why does any of them not fix it? (lemmy.org)

I am Turkish and have been wondering about this for a while as a political science and international relations masters degree student. Obama served for 8 years and still many Americans are complaining about how bad their healthcare system is and insurance prices are so high etc etc. Then why doesn't any of them fix it. Here in Turkey, our leading party the AKP fixed the healthcare system so nicely that a lot of people from other countries are coming here for plastic surgeries and other healthcare services and the AKP party, as much as I hate to say it, fixed the healthcare system and now they are serving for their 4th term in a row.

Communism

By that logic, Germany is more communistic than North Korea. Haven't Americans heard of something called "positive liberty"?
