60. People should engage when they make an OP

Your post got me to thinking. I didn’t realize the OP only posted this and hasn’t participated in their own thread.

Whenever someone makes a post in this forum, I have an expectation that they will engage with others on that post. Breaking news is a little different. People don’t necessarily need to Engage about a breaking news story if they’re just reporting that it happened.

Clearly, this post was intended to make people question Beto’s support of a universal system of healthcare. When in reality, he has spoken forcefully in favor of universal healthcare. I believe I read elsewhere, though my memory may not be right, of Beto saying he would use the affordable care act as the platform on which to build. I support that approach. People underestimate how broad and yes, wonderful, Obamacare is. The 10 essential health care benefits it defines make for comprehensive coverage. A public option is the missing link.

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