    There is another way-

    The population of the UK was very against universal healthcare. The government implemented it anyway. Now threatening the funding of the NHS is a surefire way to not get elected.

      I could be wrong, but maybe the political and media environment in the 1940s is different than today making it an inaccurate comparison.

        Of course you’re right.

        Sometimes people have to be forced into their own betterment, as unpleasant as that may be. Maybe there will be the political will for change after four more years of chaos, insanity, and pain under DT. Maybe we don’t ever have a fair election again. Not much to do but wait, get armed, train, and make sure your friends, family, and neighbors are secure.
