a recipe for disaster, particularly since this issue could easily cost us the election.

That being said, Elizabeth Warren made a decision to wed herself to Medicare 4 All. Unfortunate when the far more popular and realistic public option will put us on the same road.

Sorry, but this isn't the hill to die on, IMHO. Not when there are so many Americans with chronic to deadly conditions who simply cannot afford a major disruption in healthcare services and union members not ready to give up healthcare benefits they've spent years fighting for. I agree with Krugman, this is not realistic.

A major mistake.

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