In Politics, Status Quo Is God
Because Status Quo keeps those who make money in a place to keep making money.
Because politicians are too lazy and/or scared to do actual research to make necessary changes.
The ACA, aka Obamacare, is now status quo (as flawed as it is).
But it is Status Quo, Republicans can't really change or repeal it. And Democrats aren't lifting a finger to improve it.
Sure there are things like "voters" and "the will of the people," but those pale in comparison of Big Pharma, who is essentially accepting of this particular Status Quo. So much so they pretty much run the most Democratic, left-leaning state in the country.
Remember when the GOP promised their voters that they'd outlaw abortion every election cycle, yet could never push it through Congress?
Remember when Obama pushed for Single Payer as a candidate an was rewarded a Democrat-friendly Congress, only to essentially nationalize Mitt Romney's health care plan?
Status Quo is their God.
