provider shortages, reduced bed availability, extended wait times, and facility closures in a country of 330M+ people? As VA committee chairman, Bernie must have an idea since he should have received data on those poor veterans dying/committing suicide when such issues peaked during his oversight of the VAs single-payer system.

Theres' controls galore in Pete's public option, which you would know if you bothered to educate yourself on other proposals before tearing them down just because they're not Bernie's.

You also have no high ground whatsoever to come for other candidates' commitment or implementation when Bernie has neither partisan or bi-partisan majority support for his plan in Congress as a sitting senator.

Pete's public option is fully paid for, ready to legislate/meets PAYGO deficit-control requirements, and supported by almost 15% more Americans than single-payer incl stronger support among Independents and repubs which Dems need to win elections or pass legislation (https://www.kff.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/9394-Figure-3.png). He's good.

Instead of destroying Bernie's political capital by shitting on Dems, data, and concerns from the general public, why don't yall do something productive with your energy like helping him expand support for his bill in Congress lol
