I hope they keep asking her this question.

There's a new study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University meant to discredit and disprove the Medicare For All, but it didn't turn out that way.
The trick is what and who is reporting this report.
Midnight Special question:
-What would make progressives less likely to vote for a democratic party congressional representative:
-opposition to Medicare for All and support for Social Security privatization, or
-support for U.S. imperialism and Israeli apartheid?
This was the Democratic Party two years ago.
This was the Democratic Party last spring.
The establishment's response to Bernie Sanders' Medicare-For-All proposal has gotten hysterical. A good example is the opening sentence to this article.
Medicare for All is not single payer, so media or politicos using the term single-payer are wrong.
The insurance companies should be jumping at the bit for Medicare for all, a windfall bonanza of new Medigap plans that are profitable; in fact, competition in the Medigap market is fierce and healthy. Imagine 300 million paying the monthly premiums in such a program.
OK, so it appears the two duopoly political parties are going to make some kind of "compromise" on the health care issue which will include "bailing out" the insurance corporations.
I should start by saying I was wrong and Bernie Sanders was right: waiting for the repeal Obamacare battle to finish before introducing a Medicare For All bill was a good move.
Why? Just look at how public opinion on health care shifted this year.
On the 52nd Anniversary of the creation of Medicare, moderate Senate Democrats decided that "bold" was not an option.
Incrementalism is the name of the game.
Lessons on how to shut these bastards down, at least temporarily. Nancy Pelosi has another loyal follower, dismissive to the desires of his putative constituents. We know who the constituents are: megabuck donors. Ain't me; ain't you. I took advantage of Carbajal's first Santa Maria town hall to ask a question that is on the minds of most people. The Town Hall was covered by our local newspaper, the Santa Maria Times to mark the less-than-grand opening of this new congressional office.
