re: Why do some democrats think single payor is a bad approach compared to ACA?

quote:

---

Politically, it wouldn't be difficult to sell it: just say it will be funded by taxes on rich and businesses and hype the savings on no premiums or deductibles.

100 years of attempts say you are wrong.

Names that attempted or were highly sympathetic to some form of single payer:

- Teddy Roosevelt
- FDR
-Truman
-JFK
-LBJ
-Clinton

All failed.

other then that, believe it or not, people within party's do occasionally have different beliefs on what is the best path forward.
