It's time for Democrats to distance themselves from the ACA and be all-in on Medicare for All [View all]

We're already subsidizing the administrative costs of the middle men in health care and insurance company profits. Might as well cut them out and just subsidize health care instead. If there was a "free market" solution to make health care affordable Republicans would've found it already.

And when Republicans say "b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Canada!" just remind them they have some issues but they're only one of the few developed countries that figured out long ago for-profit health care doesn't control costs we're the only developed country that pretends that they do. Even the conservative Mercatus Center has found that Medicare for all will save us money.

It would also be good marketing for Democrats. Democrats need aggressive marketing to be the party of working people and not liberal upper middle class suburban moms.
