Ro Khanna is right on here, but some of the Bernie people lost their shit because they are fucking morons. Warren stan Ryan Grim gets pissy, but he's right. Single-payer in Canada started with Tommy Douglas creating Medicare in Saskatchewan, paving the way for adoption by the rest of the Canadian provinces. It's a solid plan. If the a state like California can be assured that president will back their play with the totality of Medicaid and other federal payments to fund a single-payer plan, well, that's game over. Once California has single-payer, other states will follow quickly. All a state needs is the assurance that feds won't undermine their single-payer plans; this is what happened in Vermont. With a better president than Trump or Obama, a large, prosperous state would be able to make it work. That's a great way to go if President Bernie doesn't have a decent, sane Senate.
Be better Bernie people. Jesus.
