      In terms of stopping people from going bankrupt because of medical emergencies, universal health care is preferable to lawyers.

          They are not mutually exclusive

          Actually, they are. Making health care free at point of service eradicates medical bankruptcy.

          and "people should not have to go through medical bankruptcy" being a halfhearted afterthought to "people should have lawyers for medical bankruptcy" says a lot more than he intended to say

          Obviously. But one policy could be implemented a hell of a lot quicker than the other and would help alleviate some of the ongoing tragedy that is medical bankruptcy until it is eradicated.

          Similarly, I would like to abolish prisons but in the meantime universal right to counsel is pretty important.

          Let me be clear here: We need Medicare for all. We need an end to medical bankruptcy. Period. But until we get there, we need assurance that every patient will have access to legal counsel and aid if they are forced to fight their insurer in court.

          Kennedy supports M4A. His last name is Kennedy. Do you even know who his Great Uncle was?
