The people trying to pass things like Medicare for all would disagree with the “no policymaker” part. Not a majority but they exist and are generally vocal about mentioning this exact point.

I think they had a chance until they started calling it Medicare for all, it’s horrible branding since “good doctors” are known for not accepting Medicare

Democrats have had terrible branding for longer than I've been alive. It's harder to maintain a good brand when your competition is shameless and lies through their teeth about fabricated realities more than they tell the truth.
