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.
