But back to health care - look it comes down to values which is how you at least START the discussion. demanding detailed plans at this stage are a cop out - they're *never* required for war, tax cuts, etc. Right? Somehow that gets done ... weird huh?
If a candidate doesn't even want to fight for something it will never get done. Even when its supported by the vast majority - because it's not a problem of consensus or funding: it's who they're working for, and more, what they values are: if someone doesn't agree that people are dying *right now*, going bankrupt, etc and that there should be at least a push in the direction, then fine - own it and move on. Just admit that profits are more important.
But don't say it's "the tooth fair" when we have the resources and examples the world over. It's a CHOICE. At least make it a choice vs giving up.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
