U guys are about to become a 1st world country I'm so proud.
Sadly no. She's dropped her support for Medicare for all. We'll be closer than likely ever before, and we might get an option to buy in to Medicare or Medicaid, our two government run systems. If we ever got enough in Congress and Senate to push Medicare for all through, I'm pretty sure she'd sign it, and I don't think she's fight against it, but her focus is on Obamacare, because she's now so tied to the Obama admin through Biden.
Her campaign has said she would not push for single payer as President, but it's important to remember that those kinds of promises can be broken just as easily as the usual campaign promises to do things which never materialize.
If she gets into office, progressive pressure needs to ramp up and stay up; the real goal should be the 2026 midterms.
