Specifically how do you think it will endanger the trip? People are ready for it.


<,We don't disagree about the advantages of Medicare for all as opposed to even the best version of our present system. The problem is that the politics of getting there are so difficult, they can endanger the trip. Ezra Klein's rendition of those problems is about the best I've read. Well worth considering.

The entrenched interests that will be opposing Medicare for all will fear-monger the issue to death. As with Obamacare, if the (D)'s go to the mat for it with real political courage, it may cost them future government control. Also, as with Obamacare, the people fear-mongered may wind up supporting it in the final analysis.
