They might have a chance with Health Insurance as Obama was able to implement ACA
Just barely, but it was still a half measure and while better than before, they couldn’t go all in even during the first two years because to keep the Democrats on board who were just as beholden to the insurance lobby as Republicans they had to work with private insurance companies. It is still slowly being eroded by both the President and red states that are trying to get it overturned by the judiciary.
They might have a chance with Health Insurance as Obama was able to implement ACA and it looks like its one of Sanders and Warren's major campaign promises to implement Medicare for all,
And no Republican in the Senate or House will go for it and many Democrats are afraid to stand up to the insurance lobby. Even if the Democrats keep control of the house and gain control of the senate, it’s unlikely they will have the 60 vote filibuster proof majority to pass anything. Even if they do, Republican states will fight it tooth and nails in the courts.
Inequality. Warren is especially motivated on reining in Wall Street [1].
She can be “motivated” all she wants, but both parties are in the pocket of Wall Street. She probably won’t even get Democratic support for it.
