BERNIE SANDERS CALLS OUT ANTI-MEDICARE FOR ALL 'FRONT GROUP'

[Hortensis]

109. Well, if these groups are hiding behind fake names

it's right to call them out.

But InA, did you ever wonder if it was the fight that was most important to him, not winning? That maybe he chooses his issues in order to fight? His history since arriving in congress has no significant wins, only "fights," usually merely verbal irritations his colleagues blow off.

We will advance healthcare because there's great public demand, and it may or may not have the MfA label, but there are already several versions with that label and similar out there, and my prediction is that the final version won't be his but another less extreme. I'm seriously wondering if he's arranged it to be that way, to sabotage himself to lose to the evil corrupt Democrats and capitalists as usual, rather than support something less than he wanted.

After all, his plan would work with tweaking but in making employer-offered insurance flat illegal is extreme. You don't mind your right to have alternative insurance available taken away, your freedom to choose, but many others will object big time. His to plan to strip everyone unnecessarily of that right, instead of just offering something better that over time by far most will choose of their own free will, is very likely to lose him whatever chance he has for the nomination.
Again, he had to know this.

Btw, looking to the future of a totalitarian, one-choice government-controlled system, has it occurred to you that, if private insurance offered by employers is illegal as Sanders intends, we'll have no competition and no other insurance to compare the government benefits to?

Every 2 and 4 years, the legislators who hold the pocketbook change. There will be many times under Republican dominance when government programs will be deliberately starved for funds, and this may go on for years until people wise up and threaten to take their trouble to the polls. Wouldn't it help if people started comparing notes very early?

Wait for the debates, though, and the polls and see how this plays out.
