I have not criticized a single union for endorsing Sanders

One local in a key state opposes mandatory M4A and you’d think they just murdered a puppy. Can we all simmer down a bit?

1. What I'm seeing is obvious fear and insecurity that belies the bravado.

What I'm seeing is obvious fear and insecurity that belies the bravado. I've seen it before it's what bullies do. Intimidation and threats... then denials... then accusations of being "too sensitive' or "gosh, we were just kidding". Or... "good people on both sides" is also offered as an excuse.

3. Medicare for All could literally save the lives of millions of puppy owners,

not to mention owners of kittens, goldfish and people that just own plants.

Today when 30,000 Americans die every year because they don't see a doctor for the sin of not having "health" insurance, what do you believe happens to all those orphaned puppies, kittens and the like.

Sure other surviving family members may be able to adopt them sometimes but no doubt many end up on the streets and/or in pounds.

Thanks for the thread Randy.

5. And what's wrong with a Medicare option?

[Uncle Joe]

6. It only serves to weaken Medicare for All by allowing

the for profit "health" insurance industry to exist siphoning away the healthiest while also eliminating universality.

8. I have a very good private plan

Small premium, co-pays, even for last year’s anxiety disorder. I’ll pay much more under M4A and no one has a clue how to administer it.

7. That's what's going to happen anyway.

All this fighting over single payer when we all know that will only end up being the starting point of negotiations, and that the public option will be the compromise we'll end up with ... it's bananas.
