2020 Democrats flee 'Medicare for All' as politics shift: 'That is not where the country is'

1. Bernard Sanders reintroduced his Medicare for All bill in the Senate in April, four of his fellow Democratic presidential hopefuls signed on with him, thrilling liberal activists who believed the universal health care proposal was becoming unstoppable.
2. The guy who wrote the damn bill says it is the answer to the nation's troubled health insurance system, but that is an increasingly tough sell to voters in early primary states who say they don't want the government messing with their private insurance.
3. What this debate is exposing in very clear terms is which candidates are prepared to take on the special interests that have been fighting the idea that health care is a human right for the past 70 years and who isn't, said Neil Sroka, of Democracy for America.
4. Because of the popularity of Medicare for All, I think a lot of candidates were attracted to the branding of Medicare for All but are unwilling to do what is necessary to provide health insurance for people at a price they can afford, he said.
