Poll: Plurality supports single-payer health care

[Demsrule86]

64. Yes, people who think MFA is around the corner based on some poll...who

refuse to recognize that it is in fact years away are the true progressives. Why anyone else who has a different opinion is a 'concern troll'(sarcasm). If we have a different opinion on what universal coverage should look like or how it could be achieved why we are attacking Sen. Sanders. He did after all sponsor the MFA. Thus, everyone must support it or we are 'punching hippies', and somehow we are attacking Sen. Sanders. There is little mention or even moderate concern for the thousands perhaps millions who could die without the ACA.

I am so not sorry that my posts are offensive to you and some of the others. A dose of reality is a good thing now and again. There is no way to achieve MFA without a supermajority. We have had two such majorities with the presidency twice in 30+ years. We will never achieve MFA with a stand alone bill which will be doomed just as Hillarycare was unless more people who currently have work coverage and will not willingly give it up somehow lose such coverage. We can get universal coverage if we add a public option to the ACA, lower the age of Medicare to 55. This helps younger workers too as it opens up jobs. At this point, we can continue to lower the Medicare age and end with MFA or we can, through reconciliation, add strong price controls, a non-profit mandate for participatory insurance companies and end up with a system like Germany's. Either way we achieve universal coverage which is my goal. I have no interest in promoting a bill that will surely fail.

I resent being called any of sort troll or hint hint...maybe a Russian disruptor because I have a different opinion and am not swayed by 'who' introduced a bill or if he is really,really popular but by whether it is possible to achieve what the bill calls for or not. In this case, it is not possible.
