  1. Steps along the correct path, the more people covered the easier it is to implement for all.

  2. The naysayers attacking him as do nothing are actually doing service to statis by undermining one of the only people actually fighting to make M4A happen.

  3.  @sohandesai4055  They have been dishonestly spitting on progressives period. The same clowns say bernie was selling out too. If you want to see this policy enacted attack those in opposition, not those who support you.

  4.  @barbarajohnson1442  TBH I do not think there is any consideration for the workers. I have not seen them be concerned about normal people before when setting economic policy. More likely it is the hundreds of billions the insurance companies make that hold us back. I think it is just a matter of time before it will be done, it saves to much money and too many lives to be ignored forever.

  5.  @sohandesai4055  I do not think the progressives have enough power to force change. This is why I do not criticize Bernie for his choices as vociferously as some when he does not force a vote or play hard ball as some demand. That being said Bernie is moving the dial. His efforts are consistently more popular among the democratic base than establishment spin. He is growing the movement and recruiting people outside the groups you identify. The idea he pushes the establishment toward the republicans is silly. If there is anyway they establishment dems can run toward the republicans they do not need the excuse of Bernie's intransigence to to do it. They are already inclined to even if they get no republican support for the effort. They have proved this over and and over. The idea that establishment sellouts know or care what voters who are not big bernie fans want is empty nonsense. The establishment does not care about anyone but the donors and any voters supporting them over Bernie is doing so out of ignorance. They are contributing to the problem and empowering the GOP.
