I am genuinely curious about how #M4A candidates are going to navigate the political challenge of forcing hospitals and doctors, often major employers in their districts, to earn less. https://www.axios.com/medicare-for-all-doctors-hospitals-health-care-costs-8a175bd2-5d6e-4a1f-9352-f275a062ef1a.html … https://twitter.com/nealkwatra/status/1156588700438028290 …

separately from the philosophy of it, which i obviously fall sharply against, i’ve also wondered how they intend to sell removing private hc plans from the hundreds of millions who like it. even if only an overton window thing, this single point could cost warren the election.

it’s also uncharacteristically poor tactics for her - she could have kept lying about the long term goal, said she’s simply for a public option. does she just feel she needs to compete for the bernie votes?

Public option doesn’t seem to be the same as what Warren is advocating. I think she straight up raised her hand to end employer plans in the last debate.

Also what do you think of this solution? Lets libertarians go their own way while sustaining the mandate for almost everybody else.https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1155181905991487490?s=21 …

i’m not really a fan of anything that lasts for life, and not certain how that squares with libertarianism. college debt crisis, and the ban on bankruptcy, has affected my thinking here.

It’s more how to thread the legal/constitutional needle between Republicans constantly trying to kill the individual mandate constantly when it’s an actuarial, mathematical necessity to make the whole thing function.
