it’s been a while since i have read her plan, but this all feels remarkably like hillary clinton’s healthcare policy. (not saying you copied, not at all - just that this reads a lot more like hillary’s policy than bernie’s ‘medicare for all’ idea)

Ok, found your question! When I say “my” plan, I just mean that this is the idea that makes the most sense to me. I’m sure others have proposed this or something similar. I haven’t read Hillary’s plan in quite some time and don’t remember the details. So it’s certainly...

Possible that hers was in the same vein!

ok, that helps me. i was coming at your tweets thinking you wanted medicare for all and was confused. i’d like to reiterate i wasn’t insinuating you copied her, not. at. all. - just trying for a reference. her policy is still up, too, if ever you’re interested.

Well, I do want M4A. But I want to do it in a phased in way, strengthening what we’ve already got while we make the transition.

oh, um, then how do you plan on dealing with hyde? (and all the other women’s reproductive health issues wrapped up in government control of women’s healthcare) because i cannot imagine women buying into “oh look the government is going to control your healthcare, yay”

All healthcare reform, even “fixing” the ACA relies on a Democratic Congress. We won’t get ANY improvements while Republicans are in control. As I’m sure you’ve seen, they want to dismantle the whole thing and replace it with high deductible plans and HSAs. 1/

So *anything* we do, any meaningful reform, whether it’s multipayer, a public option, expanding Medicaid, all of it requires taking back Congress. All of the SP plans I have seen and support would repeal Hyde and fully cover all family planning options. My purpose in 2/
