With No Direction, Democrats Make A Hard Left Towards Single-Payer

The Democratic Party is hopelessly lost.

Their lack of leadership has left their members on a road to nowhere with all signs pointing to European style single-payer health care.

Via The Washington Post:

“Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) became the fourth co-sponsor of Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.)

“Medicare for all” (a.k.a. single-payer) health-care bill on Monday. In doing so, he joined Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.).

What do those four senators have in common? Well, they just happen to constitute 4 of the 8 most likely 2020 Democratic presidential nominees, according to the handy list I put out Friday. And another senator in my top 8, Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), last month came out in favor of the idea of “Medicare for all” — though not this specific bill (yet).

This is about as far from a coincidence as you can get. And it suggests the dam is breaking when it comes to the Democratic Party embracing government-run health care.”
