I don't see it as an issue we should be pushing during the election. Everytime MFA is mentioned we give the GOP another 'socialized medicine' talking point. Trump voters are unreachable on this issue due to decades of misinformation shouted at them by conservative media sources. The GOP would love for this to be an election issue.

The issue of this election should be the graft, corruption, and malfeasance of the GOP. Everytime Trump's face is placed in an ad it should be next to that of Putin, MBS, Netanyahu, Kim and the rest of the murderers Trump favors on a daily basis.
