Reminds me of the Obama care talking points where it was bad and republicans were going to have a better idea but just needed to kill the leftist plan first.
Obamacare was the right wing plan. It's been a huge giveaway to the insurance industry, and in the end the US did get the death panels Sarah Palin talked about, except instead of government bureaucrats it's some AI run by an insurer that's accountable to nobody.
The democrats need to finally give Medicare for all a shot, as the current system has middlemen skimming profits off at every step without adding any value.
They won't. When they passed the ACA they capitulated to Republican demands by implementing Mitt Romney's state healthcare plan rather than a sane single-payer plan like the rest of the world uses despite them having a supermajority in the government and despite the fact that zero Republicans voted in favor of it even after giving them everything they wanted and sacrificing nearly everything good about it.
You should know: Joe Lieberman, Senate Democrat, was singularly responsible for killing the single payer option. Also it was all about the money.

Yep, Romney implemented it when he was governor of Massachusetts
