I dont think Nash equilibrium means what you think it means.

I think I explained that in detail before.
In a "repeated vote" system, you base the others' behavior on their strategy in the "previous" round (that's all you know) and you optimize the outcome for yourself by picking your own optimal strategy GIVEN the strategy of the others.

If the strategies taken by everybody in the previous game is a Nash equilibrium, then everybody will take the SAME strategy again in the next round. So everybody's strategy will remain stable throughout successive rounds.

How does this lead you to say social systems cant work?

Explain w your exanple applied to healthcare.

Whats the game?

Who are the players?

What are each players strategy?

What are successive moves?
