Check this passage out..... D-baggery at its finest....
Democrats will have to either embrace single-payer to avoid being tagged as ideologically timid or soullessly corporatist, or engage in politically risky trench warfare with the party’s left wing. If Warren is on the debate stage, perhaps alongside Sanders, any rejection of single-payer will be particularly glaring.

But to the point............ Everyone wants a government plan, right?
Democrats would not be able to quickly ram through the existing House “Medicare for All” legislation, which is a wisp-thin, not-ready-for-prime-time 30 pages long. And digging into the details would not be pretty.
Already we’ve seen single-payer pushes founder in deep blue Vermont and California because the upfront costs were steep and few were willing to support the necessary tax increases. The controversial line that greased passage of the Affordable Care Act – “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” – would be non-operative in a single-payer debate; people currently satisfied with their health insurance would instead be told they would have to give it up for a government plan.
