Universal health care "concern trolls" . .

131. Here on DU? Yes.

That we need some variation of single payer/medicare for all was one of the least controversial and disputed policy positions on DU. The vast majority of people on here were posting/screaming about it any time healthcare debates came up, and in fact many of Obamacare's biggest boosters were saying that it was the first step in that goal.

But now that it's Bernie leading the charge rather than one of the many Democrats who have had the opportunity to get out in front of this next step, all of a sudden it's a controversial opinion and so many of the sensible, pragmatic types on here are all of a sudden concerned about details and timing, and what Republicans will think or do in response and our apparently newly formed inability to focus on more than one thing at once.
