i think it will because the republicans pushed to get rid of all the aca, including the protections americans hold dear now, especially for pre-existing conditions. so you ll have enough votes to get some of program that would be a public option. and if it s done right, people will flock to the public option and that would make the transition to medicare for all politically possible. but for somebody who went around my state trying to explain that having to buy health insurance was really not the government putting the boot on your neck, it was about making sure that everybody took responsibility so that you didn t end up paying higher bills and your work insurance. it s really hard when people hear the government is going to tell you what you can get. and that s what the political problem is and that s why i think medicare for all in the short-term is eunrealistic.
