"Perpetuate" is more to the point. Or "knuckle under to."
I don't know why I'm so bent out of shape over this health care issue. I already have single-payer health care and I like it just fine. I wouldn't have it any other way, thank you very much (and thank you). I'm betting you would too.
According to polls – some polls, at least – about 65 percent of the public thinks they would be fine with single-payer, and a majority of doctors think so too. So why is this not a done deal?
