No. Free healthcare will get the Indie vote.
you go and tell tens of millions of rich, middle class and upper middle class Dems that they will lose their private health insurance and have government supplied healthcare, and then get back to me. they will not be pleased at all.
yeah they hate trump and they won't really believe medicare for all will happen, but it will not be a selling point to tens of millions of Dems.
It might take a little selling, but Medicare is MUCH better than private insurance. Ask anyone over 65 if they would like to give up Medicare and go back to a private plan. I'm a wealthy Dem and I would LOVE to have Medicare. And I'm on what most would call a "Cadillac" plan.
I don't think "Medicare for all" is a very tough sell:
* Medicare costs less for consumers.
* Medicare costs less for employers.
* You get better care
* Everyone is covered
