The current health care is not causing many problems, why try to change it?
The goverment already pays about $35 per head to healthcare companies.
France, on the otherhand, pays about $2 per head.

We already pay more than enough money. There may be a higher cost during the switch, but once the system is fully implemented, it can cost less than it's currently costing us.
So, no raise in taxes needed. In fact, we could get a tax break!




As for the OP, I think yes. It will be hard, but if the dems win as you described, it might be possible.
Though the push from the insurance companies will be a big one, and that will be where the biggest challenge lies.
