    For the first time IN HISTORY, I have a commitment for hearings on #MedicareForAll. We’re one step closer to all Americans having access to quality, affordable health care.https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/democrats-plan-to-hold-hearings-on-medicare-for-all/2019/01/03/7051eccc-0f6c-11e9-84fc-d58c33d6c8c7_story.html?utm_term=.6ea10070238c …

        This is a huge step forward. We have to push on the inside while continuing to build support for this on the outside. Let’s make #MedicareforAll happen!

        Unfortunately, her compliance with Paygo was probably the trade-off for the hearing on M4A.

        Tough to pay for M4A with paygo in play. I think she got McConnelled by Pelosi.

        Exactly. I like Jayapal but would rather see her stand firm against Paygo than chair a strictly symbolic meeting. She's smart, though, and maybe has an ace up her sleeve.

        Thank you for pushing this, but by supporting PAYGO, you are allowing them to delay the implementation of any #MedicareforAll legislation just like they did with the ACA. And you know they will do that again!

        I support M4A, but I can think of some other reasons it won't be implemented in the current Congress. Paygo is a red herring, as explained here:https://www.wonkette.com/why-are-we-all-yelling-about-pay-go …

        Thank you for this. Makes a lot more sense now why we'd get behind it at all. Message seems to be getting confused. PAYGO is certainly a terrible strategy across the board but in the current situation appears necessary to hold on to.

        Nobody really likes it (OK, three blue dogs do) but we're stuck with it for now.

        You do know that "Medicare for all" and "access to affordable healthcare" are two different things, right? I'm not asking for "access" - I have access to plans that others think that I can afford. I can't. What I want is MEDICARE FOR ALL. You guys figure out how to get it.

        They can't get it because the congresswoman voted for paygo, making it impossible.

        I am personally going to retweet every single #NoPayGo comment on this feed. There are crafters in Grand Rapids Michigan mailing #RedBerets to Washington State because they believe their best hope might be @WAsinglePayer. Canada did it province by province. #BeTheSaskatchewan🔥pic.twitter.com/rqORtt57Df
