"Medicare for All" not being feasible. Brown said that, and that's one of the things I like about him, is that he wants to go for something that we can actually run on and win and implement. I also agree with your comments about the public option, hopefully he would support that and I'm pretty sure he would, so would like to hear more detail from him on that. I'm hoping that by adding a public option it could be done in a way that encompasses the solution for people who can't afford the costs of their chronic illnesses. It's those people I believe should be first in line to benefit from our proposed changes to the health care system, and would expect it based on what we say we are for in our platform. So I am looking for more comments from our candidates that zero in on what they will do for the most chronically ill, and can say I am already that one point of clarification away from embracing Brown as my primary candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I'd be happy to vote for Sherrod. A-Schwarzenegger Feb 2019 #1
