    You know all those years when Dems asked where GOP alternative to ACA was? Dems should be pushing their fix -- Medicare buy in.

        I'm old enough to remember when a fine Democrat, Joe fucking Lieberman, killed that.

        He was an independent by that point but, yeah. Still in office at that point thanks to Bill Clinton's support.

        Yup, They could easily prove a better budget number. It of course won't happen but if it did it would address many probs w/ACA.

        But I'm guessing a significant number of "Democrats" in Congress don't support Medicare buy-in

        Medicare for all would be easier to implement than most systems bc we've already got a lot of the infrastructure in place.

        completely agree, but they don't even have to do Medicare if that's still too scary for them. They need something.
