The narrative against him is his refusal to adopt better policies. He wants to be seen as supporting M4A but when it's all done and dusted, he doesn't. That alone will prevent me from giving him a second look. We must look to redistributive policies. If an M4A proposal has flaws, for instance, the discussion needs to be focused 100% on closing those specific gaps. Because the problem is poor distribution of wealth and resources and no sign this will change without intervention.
In my opinion a candidate must at bare minimum correctly identify issues and not be afraid to name the unbridled solutions.
- splitstud 5y agoWhy must we look to redistributive policies? If there is some systemic issue you would like to mitigate with redistribution, why not address the systemic issue?
- throwaway34241 5y agoIs there a specific reason you are against non-M4A type systems? As far as I'm aware Germany and France for example have universal health care but not single-payer. The issue in the US seems to be some people with good jobs have health insurance they're satisfied with, and so don't want radical changes. So it's harder to form a political coalition to change health insurance for everybody, than it is to just fix the situation for people who don't have anything.
