Somthing that bothers me about the Democratic party winning future elections.

4. not sure who you are thinking the economy is doing well, as its only doing well for some and

not so well for the majority. As for healthcare for all, the problem is the idea itself is overwhelming and will face huge across the board resistance. It all sounds good on paper and 30 second campaign segments. The practical implementation is plagued with peril. Obamacare was a possible transition vehicle for this to happen and we saw election results in 2012 and 2016 that capitalized the opposition's viewpoints. Basically a single-payer program could be a hybrid healthcare system where insurance companies can still exist but all finances/claims have to run thru a Medicare type entity. The driving force in the massive run up in healthcare cost is the hundreds of insurers all with their own claim forms, coding and paperwork. Eliminating that alone can be a cost saver. Democrats have problem with messaging and taking a "big idea" and condensing it into easy to understand ideas.

None of this can be done with both the healthcare industry AND insurers not supporting the move
