medicare-for-all, IMO is much more likely than outright single payer. sort of a hybrid that everyone old & sick is on medicare, & young healthy are on affordable plans competing over state lines.
GOPs from blue/purple states would align with democrats. wouldnt take that many GOP to make it happen, & you can already see the moderates that opposed trumpcare because of the people who wouldve lost coverage.
as far as paying for things, well, GOP never has any good answers. someday the GOP will have to face that successful capitalist globalist free markets, AKA their ideal world, creates giant wealth disparities that have made themselves wider this decade & led to a populist uprising.
& the GOP is gojng to have to tax the shit out of the rich if they are going to support an economy that can only make mcjobs & jobs for robots. there will no longer be any middle class & they will need the government more than ever.
my own solution is...drill baby drill...that would pay for everything. & piss off mark prince as a booby prize.
