Universal healthcare is not a priority for the Democratic party as a whole despite their voters' pleas for it. Still only a few outliers in the party seem to advocate for it. Biden himself has been reluctant to embrace it.

And I don't remember student loan forgiveness being an especially popular platform before Biden took office. Sure it's helped a lot of people but it feels very much like a, "we'll take what we can get" policy versus something we've been asking for over decades.
