The Dems should pass MFA in the House this year

With a 50% tax rate on millionaires to pay for it. (All income, including cap gains) It will be dead in the Senate, but then the GOP will have to run on tax cuts for the Rich over healthcare for everyone.

Still never figured out how Sanders and Warren intend to pass MFA when even most Dems don't support it. No majority in either house will back abolition of private insurance.
