re: #38 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

Interesting article. What say you?

The problem with the Public Option is numbers. You have to get enough people to buy into it or you can’t fund it. Perhaps as a stepping stone?

MFA would be able to be funded.

I don’t mind increments but good luck with that. I don’t even know what increments might be.

I admit that health care isn’t an issue I’ve studied a lot of but I think you need to look at all possible options. The thing is and I think why Pelosi has urged caution on the issue is the backlashes to Presidents like Clinton and Obama who have focused on it in their first term. I think it needs to be communicated effectively. Does that make sense? I really don’t want to have to have the conversation again that we had in 2010. We did end up preserving ACA thankfully. I just don’t know how we realistically can go from ACA to Medicare for All in a decade’s time. I’d support the public option though. M4A is a goal I support but I want to communicate it better before we make it the centerpiece of health care reform.
