28. Bull.
You START with the best possible single-payer system you can devise. It goes into committee, gets hacked up, compromised, changed, and comes out looking like a STRONG PUBLIC OPTION - Medicare for all.

Failure to present a good workable plan in the first place is what left us squabbling about the POS that is going to the Pres for signature.

THERE IS NO FUCKING LAW THAT SAYS WE CAN ONLY TRY ONCE EVERY 25 YEARS.

But now that this is a done deal, they'll SAY it's been fixed, and it WILL be the end of it until the for-profit system collapses under its own weight, in about 20 years.
