If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

If that is what would work, why in the world didn't the Democrats do it when they had complete control of the passage of laws?


Joe Lieberman. Blanche Lincoln. Mary Landrieu. Etc...

Then why would Medicare 'for all' satisfy
anybody. It's a shitty insurance program
that many doctors won't even take.

Not a Republican, but I'll hop into the light and say, yeah, it's a privilege.


I'd call it a service, not a privilege.

BTW Obamacare is about health insurance, not healthcare.

Yes, but how is it different from other forms of welfare?

It would satisfy Democrats, as I already said.

Ugh. Comment recalled. I need to read better.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Hey, at least you can see there's a difference. Lots of people don't.

And that, BTW, is a big part of the healthcare problem.

Apparently "single payer" (what Socialist Bernie Sanders wanted) was not what Democrats all wanted before. I doubt it would be much different now, unless they had a huge majority and could disregard some of their members.
