Please don't tone police on HN. If you agree with me but think I'm an asshole, the polite thing to do is just to keep quiet and not troll a discussion by convincing me you disagree.
But I'm very happy you agree that health care policy in the USA is among the most directly partisan issues and know who to vote for given those priorities.
If you think I'm merely "tone policing" then you still miss the point. I don't agree with your translation of "Washington didn't make it a voteable decision" to "both sides are the same" (with the added irony of accusing others of strawmanning).
Edit: and even now you still put words in my mouth with your edit (so that's every message in this thread that does so). Best of luck to you
