14. I have not lived and worked on Mars either.

And the UK system has as much to do with Warren’s plan as one on Mars.

But if you lived and worked in the UK you might have had a different experience than a citizen there. But again, it’s not anything like any proposed healthcare plan in the US.

The union negotiated plan argument you now put forth is entirely different. And was best debunked by the union voters in Nevada Saturday. While they have a great plan, they may not always have that job. And the probability of anyone staying at one employer throughout a career is less than getting struck by lightning while winning the powerball. And the friends and family of those union workers don’t have that great union plan.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
