Speedy, Carlo did not give me stats. He pointed to the WHO which refuses to do another ranking due to how much it was criticized. You can read what I wrote to him about how asinine it is to compare the US to Andorra.

There are the stats with everything cited. So
1. Universal healthcare has problems and just as many as the US system has. People are not dying on the streets nor is our country being extremely held back by our system. If it was than I would agree, go with what other countries are doing. But the fact is that the US is on par with other countries
2. So what do you do with those insurance workers? Let them go unemployed? Also, our economy is based on a lot, but changing just one sector of it has a large impact. Look what happened with the housing market crashing.
3. The US has been using basically the same system for decades. The vast majority are fine with it as the vast majority are fine with their system in other countries. The reason why is because, as a whole, it works. When you run through the stats you see that. For example, the life expectancy of the US is around 79 years and for Australia it is 82 years. Now former MIT professor Walter Lewin said any number without error is meaningless. A couple of years ago I found the average life expectancy of the world and standard deviation to be 71±7 years. So one, the US is one standard deviation above the average. Two, that 3 year difference between the US and Australia is purely noise.
So, to answer your question. The people are not stupid. What we have works just fine compared to other countries. This is why healthcare reform is so hard to begin with.

Jonathon, what popular vote? People have been voting for republicans the last three election cycles. Face it, people don't like Obamacare.
Yes, the polls have been wrong. One poll had Clinton winning Michigan by almost 8%. Also, many polls such as on the issues of healthcare and gun control have been wrong when compared to election results. Gallup said that 87% of people want background checks on guns. Meanwhile such laws failed in Maine and passed in NV by only 0.45% with many sheriff departments in NV saying they won't enforce it. Also, what polls are you citing with your numbers? Here is Pennsylvania

Almost all of them had Clinton winning, some by large margins.
"I know exactly how the electoral college works"
You clearly don't and you clearly don't understand the history of this country and why the electoral college exists. It was to give power to the states because the federal government is made up of the states. The states and the federal government keep each other in check. That is why besides treason and the draft the federal government basically has no power over individual citizens according to the constitution. That is why there was no federal individual income taxes.
"Do you understand what this means? I'm going to bet, you don't even understand the mathematical difference. "
I have a math minor, I worked as a math tutor, I am a doctorate candidate in physical chemistry. But you are the ones that are making up polling data.
Look at the numbers for the states. Clinton got over 60% of CA's votes which is over 8.7 million. Trump got over 67% of Wyoming's vote which is only 174,000. You see the difference?
