Medicare-for-All?     
    
   Now we know why Democrats are 2020 campaigning on a promise they can't keep.

   Medicare-for-All sounds good to 71 percent of the public, when told it would guarantee health insurance as a right for all Americans. But when people understand it involves eliminating private insurance companies, support drops to 37 percent.

   Most adults have private insurance, and most like it.

   Sen. Bernie Sanders and other progressives want all of us enrolled in a single, generous, government-run plan with no competition from private insurers. This is not how Medicare currently works; it relies heavily on privately-run plans.

   Presidential hopefuls, like Mayor Bloomfield, tout a program - for votes - while being noncommittal or worse about the details.
