(11,949 posts)Are on company healthcare plans. Right?
They are 2 different things.
Listen, I dont like our current system. But am looking for something that can actually happen. No way in hell you are convincing the 50k plus, mainly union members employees at my company to give up what they have for some undefined, unfunded idea.
In the world I live in perfect is the enemy of good. Even if most people getting healthcare from their employer have a bad deal, which I disagree with, they think they do.
You really want to try and elect a president whose first job on the campaign trail is convincing 60,000,000 Americans that the healthcare plan they like actually sucks? Because most Americans with company provided healthcare like it. Your opinion, Warren or Sanders opinion does not matter at all. Most like their plans.
That what proponents of Medicare for all are suggesting. No getting around it. Telling Americans with healthcare they like that it really sucks.
We can use the now popular ACA to get where we all want to be. Actually, it is the only achievable way.
All democrats want the same thing, affordable universal healthcare. Your way is a dead end street that will elect more republicans. In my opinion, of course. I truly respect you hopes and goals.
