Meanwhile, the ACA is about to be repealed... since McCain will change his vote...Perhaps a bill on fixing the ACA might work better in this situation. I have to say...I consider it a waste of time to have bills like this that have no chance of victory.

We keep hearing single payer 'has no chance of victory' leftstreet Sep 2017 #11

Great idea...I suggest you bring it to the floor...oh wait we have no way to do this... Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #12

Awesome! This is what looking forward looks like! CloudsInMyCoffee Sep 2017 #9

How is proposing legislation- the job of Senators- mutually exclusive with winning in 2018? Warren DeMontague Sep 2017 #37

Is it a good idea for Kamala Harris to be aligning with this, with 2020 in mind ? OnDoutside Sep 2017 #18

Yeah, a majority now support single-payer. LongTomH Sep 2017 #23

I don't believe that. And as soon as the GOP turns their fire on single payer, Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #41

ACA was the 'baby step.' Time to move up n/t leftstreet Sep 2017 #42

Right...the GOP owns it all so since we have so much power, we should go for it now. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #46

Ohhh, Yeah? Try this on for size..... LongTomH Sep 2017 #44

As soon as the GOP starts demonizing it...all that goes up in flames. The ACA Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #45

Absolutely. Single Payer is a winner. Warren DeMontague Sep 2017 #36
