I still remember when Trump was campaigning in 2016, someone asked him about health care (I don't care to look up the specifics). He replied pretty vague that he wasn't going to let people just die. The audience boo'd. I still can't believe it. Most Republicans I know aren't even steadfast against it. It really feels like the lobbyist/business people/politicians are trying to paint a different picture than reality.

Edit for clarity - This wasn't a rally, but a small event of 'suits' in the audience. Perhaps a debate?

It seems to me that the former is a convenient excuse for the latter.

Biden has repeatedly said he would veto Medicare for all, and the program was pointedly left out of the party platform despite 87% support among democratic voters.

What is Biden wins the election? Democrat Senate + House + POTUS would make UHC actually within reach, no?

Biden is against UHC I believe. He said he would veto Medicare-For-All in a debate.

Possibly, assuming Democrats get rid of the Senate filibuster.

I haven’t checked what Biden’s plan is currently, but I assume it will be something that strengthens Obamacare. But ... you never know, Harris would be VP...
