I like the Monopoly graphic! So, here is a question that might have been covered elsewhere – or maybe not.
If an elected official believes that their constituency is firmly against Medicare for all? What can done to move the opinion of the voters and the official who depends upon those votes for reelection?
What is the starting point for asking that question? Maybe it’s something like a list of the wrong beliefs that people have across the political spectrum about universal healthcare not being feasible. It could be things like it would cost too much, or it would raise my taxes, or I wouldn’t be able to choose my own doctors, whether such beliefs are true or not.
My suggestion or musing, here is an attempt to find all the wrenches that have been thrown into the machinery that would otherwise work.
Alan,

Good idea Gary, Thank you. I will put this together next week.
