      Biden 2020: Not a sociopath who would literally have you killed in exchange for a compliment from a toady.

      The best slogan would be... Biden 2020: A return to normalcy It's a start, anyway. I'll gladly settle for a one-term caretaker administration staffed by Obama administration veterans if that's the price for getting rid of Trump.

      Wealthy MD, doesn't care if other people don't have healthcare. Don't you take an oath to do no harm?

      Way to persuade me, sparky. 🙄 Actually, I care very much about getting everyone health care. After all, I have to deal with the fallout of our system. I also realize that there’s zero chance of that happening as long as Trump is in office.

      I read some of your other Tweets, why are you so afraid of Bernie? He's hardly a radical, he just wants the USA to catch up to the rest of the world. This system is so backwards. I've never been able to afford insurance and my medical expenses under ACA.

      And you should be able to afford ACA coverage. You can either turn the ship of state around mid-ocean or disassemble the boat and rebuild it...mid-ocean. Which is easier?

      Exactly. I’ve said it many times. I support universal health coverage, but I’m fairly agnostic about how to get there. If building on the ACA can get us there, I’m fine with it. If it’s #m4all, then I’m OK with that too.

      After all, the vast majority of countries with universal coverage use a system other than a #m4all-like system. Most use a hybrid public/private system. Most do not ban private health insurance but rather incorporate it. Even the UK and Canada permit private insurance.

      Another thing. No other country provides benefits as generous as Bernie’s #m4all plan, and I’ve studied healthcare systems used by other countries. All involve some limits and copays.

          Even Medicare as it exists now is not that generous. That’s what worries me. Bernie’s plan is pie in the sky.

          Starting with the Cadillac is the best way to enter negotiation. I despise Reagan, but he was a skilled politician. He appointed Bork as a scare tactic to make other more far right nominees seem palatable.
