Abstract:
Josh Mound presents a forward-looking analysis about the politics of achieving a single-payer Medicare-for-All program. He argues that the overall popularity of such a reform is not enough: Democrats must frame this policy in a way that speaks to the needs of their base, not the prerogatives of centrist wonks. The stakes are high: if they fail to do so, the whole endeavor could crumble.
