The democrats need to finally give Medicare for all a shot
They won’t. When they passed the ACA they capitulated to Republican demands by implementing Mitt Romney’s state healthcare plan rather than a sane single-payer plan like the rest of the world uses despite them having a supermajority in the government and despite the fact that zero Republicans voted in favor of it even after giving them everything they wanted and sacrificing nearly everything good about it.
You should know: Joe Lieberman, Senate Democrat, was singularly responsible for killing the single payer option. Also it was all about the money.
“A public option plan is unnecessary,” he told Fox News. “It has been put forward, I’m convinced, by people who really want the government to take over all of health insurance.”
In retrospect, the half a million dollars in campaign contributions might have been the best money the industry ever spent.
