LIBERAL COLUMNIST WARNS DEMS: BEWARE OF 'MEDICARE FOR ALL' - Ever since one leading 2020 presidential candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., called for eliminating private health insurance to implement "Medicare for All," there has been pushback by some moderate Democrats, including a Washington Post columnist who cautioned the party against embracing such a platform ... Megan McArdle argues that Democrats could hand President Trump a second term if they embrace and campaign on "Medicare for All."
“There’s a certain freedom in having Trump as an opponent — he’s so loathed in many quarters of the electorate that you can propose almost anything and still be pretty certain of those votes. And yet, not entirely certain,” McArdle wrote. “If you force suburbanites to choose between having a lewd race-baiter in the White House and sacrificing their health-insurance coverage... or paying higher taxes ... or many of the other disruptive things progressives want to do ... well, maybe they decide the troglodyte is the lesser of two evils.”
