U.S. health insurance coverage editorial: essentially two camps on Medicare-For-All - yay or nay (albeit with a spectrum of reasons): #FDR Wallace Perkins New Deal / Bernie Sanders PDA progressives👍 vs everyone else: normy liberal status-quo #Obamacare (née Massachusetts #RomneyCare) Dems (naively think that liberal = progressive),😕 neoliberal corporate pro-profiteer sell-outs, (insani)Tea Party conservatives and the MAGAfascists👎😡

The #ACA was an technocrat's iron-clad dream policy. It would work! After all, it "aligned the incentives" of healthcare investors and "harnessed markets" to drive efficiency. No one could accuse this policy - which was copypasted from former Massachusetts governor #MittRomney's #RomneyCare - of being "socialist." It was invented by a #BainCapital consultant!
