We shouldn’t be satisfied with single-payer coverage just during a massive pandemic. This crisis exposes dramatically the foolishness of pretending that health care is a private marketplace. We need Medicare for All now.

If anyone hesitates because they fear they can’t afford the cost, they put the rest of us at risk.
No one should be worried...
