2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The absolute worst thing about this primary [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)That I feel there are others things even worse (the hope-a-dope on getting money out of politiccs by supporting a corporate politician who says she will try to do so would be my choice) in no way diminishes the damage she is doing to single payer advocacy.
And I'll repeat one more thing here that I guess I need to keep repeating, because I see it agan and again in people's posts (not the OP, which used the correct language): Universal healthcare DOES NOT MEAN single payer!
Over and over again, Hillary and her supporters say "universal", and when they do people hear "single payer". Big mistake. The establishment politicians supporting universal are supporting a system to require every American to purchase private health insurance.
It's my opinion the private insurers are the problem, not the solution, and we need single payer.
Thanks for the OP.
