62. If the end goal is the same, isn't the one that's most

likely to be achieved the one to go for?

The ACA is in place, needing only Democratic majorities to pass the many expansions already written up as bills.

The MfA is currently little more than a slogan. Do you realize MfA would take most of a decade to be written, passed and implemented? Remember, that "just" passing the ACA was a battle that took congressional Democrats YEARS to win in the form that was accomplished. Many put their careers on the line for it.

Marg, that battle continues. We have elections every 2 years, and even if MfA was passed in reasonably complete form (EXTREMELY unlikely!) a new Republican majority in either house or as president might stop implementation at any point.

And then what would they do with it?

Right now, you should consider that you've put yourself in the position of opposing the party who DID create a national healthcare system and instead are supporting an individual who's being used by both the Republicans and Russia to make sure we never have one.

Are you sure gambling our nation's future with dice you KNOW are loaded is wise?
