what one thinks is politically feasible. Some think expanding coverage is as far as we can go right now. Others go a bit further and propose universal coverage, and some go even further and call for single payer UHC. I've heard many reasonable people make reasonable arguments in favor of each idea. IMO, I think SP-UHC is a bit of a stretch right now, but I recognize that it's a judgement call.

None of us really KNOW exactly how far we can go here. We all apply our own best judgement to the situation. IMO, it's the combined pressure of all of us that will result in some progress on this issue. After all, we are all on the same side, and want the same things. We just differ on how to get there.
