      Pete Buttigieg was for single-payer, Medicare for All before he was against it. Here we go: 02/17/2018: Buttigieg is befuddled as to why anyone would ever question his support for Medicare for All. https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/964863858849574913 … https://twitter.com/Lis_Smith/status/1194370238843936772 …pic.twitter.com/tkvNv9v87l

      02/18/2018: Buttigieg literally says "[I] do henceforth and forthwith declare, most affirmatively and indubitably, unto the ages, that I do favor Medicare for All" pointing to an op-ed to demonstrate he's supported it since 2004. The op-ed explicitly mentions single-payer.pic.twitter.com/XQ1F7xCyah

      2/14/2019, literally Buttigieg: "What is Medicare for All? It's a compromise. In the UK, you've got national health care. That would be the true left-wing position. The true right-wing position is free for all, all corporate -- the compromise position is a single-payer system."pic.twitter.com/s4JJMnJatG

          Buttigieg's flip flop on Medicare for All is covered in more detail here. Team Buttigieg is now trying to save face by using the oldest trick in the politician's playbook which is to basically say "I agree with the goal but not the policy itself."https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/16/buttigieg-tweet-medicare-for-all-048745 …

          4/1/19: Buttigieg again speaks in exceedingly positive terms about Medicare for All "Single-payer, which is very much a compromise position between nationalized medicine and fully private payer and provider...that's the middle ground."https://twitter.com/_waleedshahid/status/1185002923773911040 …

          Two fun stories on Buttigieg on 10/25/2019: 1) Big Pharma exec hosts a fundraiser for his campaign 2) Buttigieg says the "meaning" of Medicare for All has changed since he tweeted back in February of 2018. [The meaning hasn't changed. Him cozying up to the industry has.]pic.twitter.com/2kftjEeula

          Thaddeus Burns hosted a fundraiser for Buttigieg. He's the "Head of Government & Public Affairs" at Big Pharma giant Merck. Merck has repeatedly raised prices on drugs and vaccines. In 2018, Merck spent nearly $7 million lobbying the federal government.pic.twitter.com/UA9YEwUyoV
