Maybe you weren’t around for Ross Perot. I didn’t vote for him, but one thing he proved is that people will listen to details. As a third party candidate, this little funny looking funny talking guy got 19% of the vote and put Clinton in office. Bush 1 lost because of Perot’s appeal to moderate Republicans and Independents who would have normally voted for Bush.

Regarding the premium issue, since I wrote this Warren came out with details on charging businesses to get that premium to pay for big part of cost. It changes my calculation abit and businesses won’t be able to keep the money, or as you dream, give it to their employees, except for the portion they pay in now. So they’ll get that part back. I hope the numbers work. I really would like national health system. I already get Medicare but it could be better. More importantly, my kids would do better with M4A.
