(58,785 posts)Because THAT is what is at stake. Not which path to take to universal healthcare but whether we'll have any at all.
I agree entirely that the nations believed to have the best universal healthcare systems have achieved it through hybrid solutions, whatever works for each situation. And in a large, very decentralized and economically and geographically diverse nation like ours, there will be no one-solution-fits-all answer. Also that most who chant Medicare-for-all don't realize that it's just a chant suggesting a future ideal, not what they really want.
But at this point the entire healthcare discussion strikes me like disagreeing about where to hang the family portraits while the house is on fire.
Oh, and since i never weighed in on the OP (Ehrnst may remember when I long ago hoped to be able to support him), I'll say that I came to dislike, distrust, and disrespect Bernie Sanders for cause a long time ago. Completely his own doing.
