Here's an idea that's right out of the Republican playbook - they are not patriotic and don't belive Americans are good enough to do this (make health care universal in th US).
I suggest everyone send this to their Senators & Congressperson: Find yours here -

Dear Senator,
Why don't Democrats use the same tactics that Republicans have used against Democrats for the past eight years and just call them anti-American?! The French, Dutch, Germans, Swiss and others have had universal care for over 50 years and the Republicans say we can't do it here in the US?! They must not believe in America. They obviously have no faith in American ingenuity when they protest that Americans will fail where all other industrial western countries have succeeded! We cannot stand for this kind of anti-Americanism in this day and age. Patriots never say die. Patriots believe in American ingenuity and have faith that we can do things better. That better days lay ahead of us. Ronald Reagan was right. "I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead."
Sincerely,
