[Peace-discuss] Fwd: A Pro-Life Case For Elizabeth Warren | Mark Gordon

[Robert Naiman]

I'm not cynical about this. I can imagine a world in which the Catholic
Bishops would support Medicare for All and help push it across the finish
line in Congress. Already there's been a huge shift in "mainstream debate"
since the time of the Obamacare fight. In the Democratic debates,
Gillibrand defended Medicare for All and said she wrote the transition
section of the bill. Warren defended it too. And they're not running in the
"democratic socialism" lane. I figure that, the month before Medicare for
All is enacted, it's not seen as a "leftist" idea any more, any more than
having a public library or a public school or a public post office or a
public fire department is seen as a leftist idea. Illinois just legalized
recreational marijuana, and it seems like kind of a nothing burger. Yeah,
of course that was going to happen. It wasn't so long ago that was a
completely marginal idea. In one of Michael Moore's movies he shows how
"conservatives" in Canada support their Medicare-for-All system, think it's
a no-brainer to do so. I can imagine being there on Medicare for All two
years from now, with the Catholic Bishops helping to push it through
Congress.
