"Going to a single payer system is not building on and improving the ACA." Sen. Cassidy.

As predicted, he's trying to turn the debate about the ACA into a debate about single-payer. Bernie is trying to do a good job but his pushing for single payer, in the past and in the debate, isn't helping.

They are clear and united about fixing the ACA and then working on total coverage.

It's a debate. Amy and Bernie are doing a great job countering each of their talking points. I'm glad the talk about real universal healthcare is in the open and getting a great deal of attention.

One that collects a specific tax, that can't be affected by any future tax cuts made by anyone (namely the GOP). If this is not done right, the national debt will explode.
We need to be able to pay for single payer and properly insure all of our citizens, once and for all.
