Huh? Here's what you said prior to your edit (though your edit isn't actually responsive to my counterargument anyway):
> um, that's kind of....the diametric opposite of what an overwhelming majority of Americans just voted for.
Please substantiate your claim. There was no overwhelming majority, and even if there were, it does not at all mean that people voted for this particular policy. Again: you're free to provide evidence otherwise.

it's not at all the primary point i was making and the army of HN pedants to argue about a particular poorly chosen adjective to pretend somehow that the more important point I made is moot is as usual very tiresome, I edited the post to remove the offending adjective.

Your primary point is there is strong public sentiment toward healthcare privatization.
There is no evidence of this claim.
If you have any, please provide it. You attempted to provide the election which is not valid evidence for several reasons.
There is no evidence of a mandate from the public in the direction you’re suggesting there is.
Considering no Republican president has won the popular vote in 20 years, the relatively small majority popular vote margin is nonetheless quite dramatic in the context of recent history.
