(10,303 posts)... and a full blown government run health system, saying "Medicare for All" doesn't go far enough? Primary that person?
Playing Devil's Advocate here of course....
I'm for anything that brings us affordable healthcare for all.
"No society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means" - Aneurin Bevan, considered to be by many the father of the UK's National Health Service.
Then there's his other quote "No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin." US equivalent is Republican Party... go figure...
But back on topic... maybe this is something good for the Californian Democratic Party. Might not be the best position elsewhere in the country. However goal is "affordable healthcare for all" and if someone isn't on that bandwagon then time to get off.
