(13,570 posts)6. Explain how the Congress, especially this one, will PASS Medicare for All? If the ReSCUMlicons are
willing to attack a law that always used to be FOR just to attack Obama and Dems, on what planet do you think they will
suddenly now, instead, be willing to back "EVIL SOCIALIST MEDICARE FOR ALL"?

(13,570 posts)7. It is a MERRY-GO-ROUND point. SINGLE PAYER WILL NOT PASS THE CONGRESS. Please find the planet.
Would be GREAT to have single payer, but it WILL NOT PASS. Meantime we do nothing holding out endlessly for something that will not pass? Please, find the planet.
