    Hey @Culinary226, check in with your government affairs people. There are not 60 votes in the Senate to ban the private health insurance you got in your union negotiations, nor will there be after the election. You're gonna be okay.

        Just because campaigns have goals and aspirations -- and both Warren and Sanders have proposed banning private insurance in their first terms -- doesn't mean it's going to happen immediately, and it doesn't mean those aspirations are lies. People understand this IRL. /2

        It's about having a fight that polarizes the electorate around a particular value--in this case, people's health care over profit, and it's about showing a willingness to fight. That fight is unlikely to lead to 100% of the M4A bill as written. Sorry if this comes as a shock. /3

        The bottom line is that if you like Sanders or Warren and are a culinary worker being fearmongered by your union boss about your private health care, you should not be afraid you're going to lose it, and vote your gut. /4

        Let's also unpack what the Culinary Union is saying: They worry about a world in which Sanders or Warren manages to pass, basically unamended, full M4A that bans their private health care. Yet at the same time they are assuming that the maintenance of effort provision.../5

        that requires companies to make union workers whole, and turn over any savings that accrue to them as a result of M4A -- that part, they're saying, they can't trust to become law. And compared to M4A, that's a relatively uncontroversial provision. It's incoherent./6

        Another reason the union leaders' argument may not resonate with rank and file: A Culinary worker sent me the co-pay and deduction info, and it is better than many plans, but not great for people living paycheck to paycheck:pic.twitter.com/mgUb8y3BUX
