should have stuck with the term Single payer health care instead of shifting to Medicare for all. They thought that Medicare for all would be better to understand and be more popular. Changing the name was a mistake.

If we push for single payer health care people with employer provided health plans won't lose anything, everyone gains, including them.

Also I feel the public option plan pushed by some will be too easy to dump which will leave us in the same situation we are in now.

Warren and Bernie should have stuck with the argument that the US is the only industrialized nation to not have some form of single payer health care.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
