Quiz for people who insist Sanders’ M4A plan is the only HC plan they’ll accept:
1. How many countries on Sanders’ list have a full SP system?
2. How many have the hybrid systems Sanders, and you, oppose?
3. Name one Democrat who said UHC is “a crazy idea” or “radical.”

12. What will M4A look like under a GOP admin? Lots of M4A proponents out there think the pandemic is pushing people toward M4A. Instead, more and more people rightfully fear giving someone like DT control of 100% of their HC. https://twitter.com/oldladydem/status/1250467090189946880
13. Why does Sanders’ bill for a “federally-run* SP system allow coverage to vary by state, how does a SP system where benefits/funding streams vary by state work logistically, and if Sanders’ M4A really does cover *everything,* what benefits would states add? 
14. BS has had *years* and tons of resources (millions in leftover camp cash, his org OurRev, the Sanders Institute, experts on speed dial) so why does he *still* not have a complete plan & why did he diss the women who put in the work to complete it? https://twitter.com/oldladydem/status/1250480130658574337
15. If Sanders and his supporters really do care about more people, esp low income households, having access to health care, why hasn’t he +/or his revolution ever shown up to push GOP-run states to expand (government-run!) Medicaid?
Finally, just bc I’m curious: As long as you can get gov’t-run health ins (via a public option), why do you care if some people, out of choice or necessity, get private ins, esp since private ins pays higher provider rates, keeping many hospitals solvent & open for *you* to use?
