Nicely said and unfortunately true.
The only problem I have with Medicare for All proposals, is the lie that a large part of the savings that Americans will get to offset increased taxes, is premium savings. Since the vast majority of Americans with group insurance thru their work, only pay a fraction of the premium, their savings would not be that much. And companies aren’t going to pass on their savings to employees. So someone needs to prove the “cost savings” thing. They need to get out a Ross Perot whiteboard and show how it works. Otherwise, a public option is the most pragmatic way to start. Can’t take down a $1 trillion industry, no matter how well Bernie presents his case. And I do love him for it.
