by almost a 3:1 margin...dem voters in iowa choose a plan that more resembles betos medicare or america vs medicare for all. national polls look similar. its basically the public option that obama wanted to include in obamacare (people like obama and hillary actually know what they are doing/talking about).

repubs (and joe lieberman) didnt vote down the public option because they thought it would be a bad idea. they voted it down because they knew it would be wildly popular and ultimately usher people into single payer healthcare via choice/market.

this is what dems should be running on (hopefully warren sees the light). if dems run on proposals that are unpopular (even in their own base) like single payer healthcare with no private insurance or private insurance being relegated to a supplemental plan...they will lose. point blank.
