      @princessmom122 Question here is how you cover others. Hillary has been explicit: it's by giving them insurance coverage. @armandodkos

      @armandodkos @emptywheel @princessmom122 and the ACA is only PARTLY about private insurance, of course. It's a mish-mash of private/public.

      @emptywheel @armandodkos @princessmom122 agreed. However, that's gonna take 10-20 years under absolute best circumstances, not 4-8.

      @emptywheel @armandodkos @princessmom122 of the 5, I see "universal" as being the one most likely to get accomplished...

      @charles_gaba Perhaps, perhaps not. But if you do it by expanding insurance all the others become less possible @armandodkos @princessmom122
