Placing Medicare for All in the platform would serve as a Party-wide, national rebuke of the President's Affordable Healthcare Act. It would also be a rebuke of our nominee's position. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Sanders and the Socialists do not control the Democratic Party. And, for the record, DWS isn't going anywhere either.

Controlled by the Federal government, so everyone is covered in every state.
Medicare is controlled by the states. See link

Nearly half of states are so locked into the politics of Obamacare that they're willing to leave nearly 4.3 million of their own people uninsured. Take a look at our map — and make sure you share it.
