Consumer Confidential: $32 trillion for 'Medicare for all'? It's a bargain
Democrats have done a miserable job selling "Medicare for all" to the American people.
They're adept at highlighting the myriad problems with our healthcare system - the high costs, the millions uninsured, the financial devastation of getting sick.
But when it comes to solutions, most of the Democratic presidential candidates offer vague policy proposals and sidestep pointed questions about how much healthcare reform would cost.
This is simply foolish. On both counts - policy and price - the Dems have a winning political issue.
They can point to other developed countries in making the case for the economics and effectiveness of public health plans, whether we're talking Medicare for all or a similar "public option."
And they can point to current healthcare spending to make a case
