  1. I liked Tulsi before she became the Medicare sellout. Keeping the private sector insurance with Medicare for all at the same time will simply make Medicare the insurance of last resort. Private health insurance companies will simply drop people who are sick on the government. Medicare choice is code words for privatizing the profits and socializing the costs.

  2.  Trianabfine  you clearly didn't read what I wrote or you don't understand how for profit insurance works today. Old people who get sick where not able to afford private insurance decades ago it is why we started Medicare in the first place. Private insurance forced them out and onto the government in an effort to maximize profits. If the private sector is allowed to continue to sell coverage for services covered by Medicare they will simply keep the profit and force anyone who is actually sick to be on Medicare. If you don't understand that you don't understand how for profit insurance works.

  3.  Trianabfine  sure private insurance will set low rates for single people under 45. They will take all the low risk people and set insane high rates for the rest forcing them onto Medicare. Privatizing the profits and socializing the costs. By the way I did read your comment but you don't understand how insurance companies maximize profits and force the costs of high risk people onto the government today. The public option is simply a way for the private sector to make more profit nothing else.

  4.  Trianabfine  you are kidding correct? Because to say that 100% of the people under 45 will simply choose to switch away from an employer provided benefit for Medicare for All but that the same people will vote against a candidate who wants to give them Medicare for All with progressive taxation to pay for it is laughable. I mean your argument is that people will want a system where they have to pay for the health insurance out of pocket vs having Medicare for All where the government funds the health insurance from progressive taxation. I for one would rather Jeff Bezos use some of his "winning" to fund my health insurance. I call them winnings because even Jeff Bezos doesn't consider his vast wealth as earning. He calls them winnings that he can't find any other usage for them to literally launch it into space. While his employees are largely temporary workers lacking health insurance. Bernie Sanders did shame him into paying $15 per hour as president Bernie Sanders will tax Jeff Bezos wealth and use those funds to actually help the workers who generate that wealth.

  5.  Trianabfine  well for the insurance companies to fail when they have only the most profitable people it will take 100% of them leaving. So you definitely implied it. But you didn't answer why these people who will choose Medicare for All over private sector insurance would not vote for Medicare for All. Why they feel the need for the choice of paying the government instead of having a single payer system paid for by progressive taxation. Or is it that there is no argument to be made for not following the lead of other developed countries so you got triggered by the 100%?

  7.  Trianabfine  it is defeatist to say a progressive can not win when 2 of the top 3 candidates are progressive and the 3rd is falling in the polls.

  9.  Trianabfine  well you can choose to not take part if you feel it is predetermined but I will be voting so you failed to disenfranchise this voter. You will have to try someone else have a nice day
