sunshine up our noses.

They said she told them they made a “convincing case, but is there any force on the face of the earth that could counter the hundreds of millions of the dollars the insurance industry would spend fighting that?”


So, they can buy ads. It's not as though the health care industry could defeat anyone at the polls and most Americans want Medicare for all. A lot.

In the end, because of the way Billarycare was handled by Hillary and Bill, a Democratic Congress would not vote for it. Do we really think Congress would have had the wherewithal to squash Medicare for All. Re-election is what they're all about.
