Well point being, for whoever wins the top spot, that "Medicare for all" catch phrase is going to be manna from heaven. Most Americans can't think deeper than the surface (what details?) and that sure sounds good. There's gillion people out there that are sick and tired of no insurance and/or being gouged with insurance.
Yeh, it is not without its problems of course. The repubs are on the offensive by saying that medicare-for-all is actually medicare-for-none because you are trying to expand a program that is already broke long-term. Whether one agrees with that or not, it is something the dems will have to deal with, moreso for Joe whose base has more older dems looking for guarantees that medicare will not be further at risk. And it does not help that the lefties trying to pick up on the medicare for all bandwagon are botching it by not thinking their positions through. There is already plenty of video out there (which we will see again in the campaign) showing Kamala flat-footed stating that she would totally eliminate the private insurance market. Then when that blew up in her face, she backpeddled and said that she was just saying that she meant that she would eliminate the bureaucracy and waste in the private sector plans. ahhh, not you did not. We heard what you said. Deal with it. It will get retro at times too. We will take a trip back to 2008 and do several rounds of "a public option" solution. Could get boring. Yes, of course, there is nothing like the smell of free stuff in the morning for the libs, and 2020 is going to be a big free-stuff year. Reparations, student debt cancellation, medicare for all, give everyone a thousand a month, eliminate the Hyde Amendment so that there can be free abortions, and so on. Too much free stuff to even list. It's like catnip for the libs. And of course that 93 trillion for climate change/new green deal is free too because it is just government money. And 93 trillion here and 93 trillion there and after a while it begins to add up and before long you are talking about real money.
