Commentary: ‘Medicare for all’ would be a losing proposition

You would hope that Democrats had learned the dire consequences of a lost election. Guess again. They’re already hard at work at loosing in 2020.

Look at their “Medicare for all” single-payer health care proposal. Most Americans agreed that health care reform is long overdue; however “Medicare for all” alienates many voters whose support is critical to electing Democrats in 2020.

Remember that this approach does away with private insurance. Let’s do the math. Forty percent of Americans voters (52 million) are Trump Republicans whose votes will not change, regardless of any health care proposal.
