might go to POCs, as if POCs don't pay taxes too.

One thing though, I still think MFA can be achieved over time by building on the very popular and already-in-place ACA. IMO Warren made a critical mistake by going all-in on Medicare for all. Now she's walking that back with a transition plan because of the pushback she got on how to pay for it and the alleged job losses.

Most progressive Dems want single-payer healthcare but those of us with a clear history of how things get done in this country know big, huge, monumental change doesn't happen overnight from one candidate from the left or right promising to implement it.

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