It's about time Warren came on board, and although I'm not her biggest fan, it certainly seems like the major Democratic 2020 contenders are increasingly moving towards  the only solution that will both reduce consumer costs, while at the same time expanding coverage, as a result of the leverage that the US Government will be able to exert upon the Privatized Medical Sector that has squeezed massive profits  out of the pockets of working and middle-class Americans and created the most expensive medical sector in the industrialized world, where only the wealthiest can afford quality of service.

Sorry---- America is a great country, but I fail to see how the massive profits margins in the Medical Sector have worked out for the vast majority of US Citizens when it comes to coverage and quality.

The most amazing thing is that "Obamacare"/ACA was essentially the Republican proposal from the early 1990s, and now is being universally opposed by Republicans, and there are still a ton of Democrats that see it as the "Centrist" option.

Not changing my avatar anytime soon, until we have a real candidate who actually represents the interests of working-class Americans when it comes to affordable and quality health-care delivery.

by massive profits in the medical sector are you referring to doctors/nurses, insurance companies, big pharma or all the above?

I'm a pre-med student right now and were single payer to pass my career would be over before it starts. Liberals have to realize that healthcare is somebody's labor and you are never entitled to somebody else's labor (slavery) doctors and nurses are overworked as it is and healthcare is 16% of the economy. All those jobs in the insurance industry would be destroyed and people will be out of work (probably what democrats want). I understand some people can't afford it, but why should they be entitled to care on the backs of people who already busy their asses taking care of their own families. Despite the feel good high school musical "were all in this together" mentality of most liberals, sorry we're really not. I have my own family and friends to worry about and I'm sorry, but I'm not concerned for someone who isn't a part of my life.

do you plan on leaving the medical field if this happens? i imagine paying back medical school/undergrad loans will be difficult if/when single payer leads to across the board cuts to medical salaries
