Would I love to see Medicare for all enacted? Absolutely, and some day, maybe it will be. But,--- 

---those who say that EW's plan will put $12,000 back into the bank accounts of middle class families are wrong because, even IF her MFA plan does not re-elect "it", no such sweeping change would ever reach her Oval Office desk even IF Democrats control both houses of Congress. "The People" are not ready to undertake such an abrupt "about face" concerning how they and their families get their health care. We can manage "better" but, right now, insisting on "all or nothing" will most likely get us nothing, in my opinion. I understand how much better MFA would be, but as President Obama cautioned, "Let's not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good". 

Go ahead and give me the lecture about how "incrementalism is cowardice". It will not change either my opinion or the fate of a party that chooses to run on "Medicare For All----Right Damned Now!"

And besides NOBODY'S M4A or public option plan is getting through Congress as is.

Why people insist on going around and around about it is beyond me. Just enjoy being led by the MSM I guess.

They can call the tune but we don't have to dance.
