It's an aspect of human nature that people don't like things being taken from them, even if the purpose is to give them something better. Eliminating private insurance in one fell swoop is a very foolish idea. It should not be on the table. It's a loser for us.

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