elected Bernie?
And if even that small, homogenous population couldn't agree on any plan that could make single payer work, doesn't that bode ill for other states that are more diverse and larger?
And can you tell us why Sanders refuses to even discuss lessons learned from the failure of Green Mountain Care? One would think that he would be happy to explain how it could have been saved.
Perhaps he truly has no idea, and that would cause people to wonder just how much he's actually got figured out.
Perhaps he will not tolerate talking about any scenario but his own?
Meanwhile, Massachusetts has an uninsured rate of just 2%, with a larger, more diverse population. That's way, way closer to actual universal health care coverage than any other state.
Do you think that Bernie could learn something from them that might get the rest of the population covered. I mean they've accomplished what the people who elected him couldn't manage to figure out.
But do carry on with slamming the ACA. Big Pharma loves this.
