Uh, no it isn’t “an approach that assesses the truth of meaning of theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.”
OK, The government passes a law that says every medical treatment and medication now costs 50% of what it cost yesterday. Done.
Universal Health Care was not a possibility in ‘08. But Obamacare, for all it’s failings, created an expectation, even among Republicans, that the government was going to be involved in paying for healthcare. Saying “nothing has changed” is just you saying that you can’t perceive the changes that have occurred. If the…
There is nothing pragmatic about spitting in Kamala Harris’s (our whoever’s) face when she offers to support single-payer just because she also happens to have taken campaign contributions from big pharma.

Pandering and doing what the base wants are the same thing and result in getting more votes, i.e., power.
Every other universal health care system in the world costs less then ours, per capita, by a large order of magnitude. I’m sorry, but you are simply ill informed.
That is literally the only major issue that Dems are going to run on in 2020 so far.
#1 in ‘92 Clinton Care was exactly that, and it got it’s ass handed to it by the insurance companies.
Joe Manchin should just join the Republican party like he wants to.
