15. They want good healthcare. They want THEIR name on it.

They used to support the ACA by significant majority, but now they're afraid those trashing it from both the right and the far left will succeed. So, they're interested in healthcare under a new label.

And the name "Medicare for All" appeals as much to them as to anyone else in its promising, if very misleading, simplicity.

We advance. Sigh for the dysfunctional strife and stupidity that demand destruction, dissent, and delay before we can is all.
