What Went Down On Night Two Of The First Democratic Debates

Yeah, is Joe Manchin — if he’s still around — going to vote for Medicare for All that abolishes private insurance?

As far as I can tell, Gillibrand, Harris and Sanders raised their hands for Medicare for All and getting rid of employer-based insurance. The other seven did not, I think.

That was a pretty good response by Gillibrand, and if the Democratic nominee winds up being someone like Warren who’s more unabashedly called for abolishing private insurance, I wonder if they’ll wind up backing into a position like Gillibrand’s by next November.
