First order of business: Beat Trump.
Second order of business: hold the House, win the Senate.
(If second and First orders of business can be accomplished simultaneously, great!)
Third order of business: push for progressive agenda, including M4A, thru votes, activism, pressing Congress, etc.

Dems need to take control of the white house and Senate for any reforms to pass, even a public option.

and in the meantime, expand Medicaid, restore ACA, v. important to all.

that is essentially Medicare-for-All.
