(30,613 posts)But I saw her fall apart when pressed on the costs of her medicare for all plan. I was shouting at the TV, what words she should have used. But to no avail.
She fell into the trap of the media (the media who seem to make most of their money on insurance and Pharma ads, by the way) of talking only about the "cost" of a proper medical plan, and ignoring the savings side. We are flushing 35% of our medical money down the toilet (well, into the the pockets of execs and wall street). Take the remaining money and spend it on a well-managed plan instead of for-profit garbage, and we come out 35% ahead.
(end of rant) Anyway, as a supporter, I think that was the moment she broke. I knew she could do better, but clearly got robotically programmed by well-meaning but clueless advisers.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
