If you understand anything about the US voters 2016 should have made it clearer. Most voters hear what they want to hear so care must given to carefully explain the political situations. And most voters can handle only one issue at a time without conflating multiple messages. That is the danger in exposing single-payer right now when he ACA is on the line. It's already happening. Haven't you heard it said that we no longer need Obamacare if the government is going to give us all Medicare?
