I would also encourage you to read the numerous studies that have emerged which found little evidence that the incremental change policy proposed by Elizabeth Warren, which involve the creation of an intermediary program that includes both federal and private industry, would be less disruptive than simply transitioning to a federal program initially. I would also encourage you to look at the Dutch model — often cited as a model the US should be following, and the disaster that such an incremental model proved to be in terms of equity and efficacy in terms of healthcare access. You’re correct that passing any universal coverage will be difficult in America; therefore, passing even intermediary bills (as proposed by Elizabeth Warren) will still be difficult. Are you now understanding why Medicare for All proponents rejected Elizabeth’s bill?

I will, finally, touch on your baseless claim that “Bernie Bros” held out against Warren’s plan, claiming if universal coverage was not passed “billionaires would suffer consequences.” Did you research anything for this article, or did you use Twitter fights as your primary sources? I don’t even understand what you are referring to. The hold out was never to make “billionaires suffer” it was to provide comprehensive, equitable, and free at point of access care to ALL. You’re correct in your assertion that Bernie Sanders views universal healthcare as a ‘black and white’ issue. It IS a black and white issue when some people can afford to survive, and others cannot. I hope your next article is edited before it is posted.
