Happy strike day!
Lurking in the background, according to the end of the article in WaPo …
Jared Polis is taking a hands-on approach to the legislature. And not all lawmakers are happy.
Meh, they'll figure out the new working relationship. I'm sure it's quite the adjustment since Hick's hands-off, wishy-washy, I'll let you know what I want after you send me the bill, maybe I'll sign, maybe I'll veto style.

WOTD from Tom Tomorrow: "Medicare For All: Threat or Menace?"
Valid questions. My recent reading indicates that polling support for Medicare for All drops off markedly when people learn they may have to give up employer sponsored health insurance or that taxes to pay for it would go up.

I'm not singling you out – this is an open challenge to anyone who wants to post.

Unless there was a substantial increase in tax revenue, the new beneficiaries would bankrupt it.
Serious question: With the Medicare buy-in that has been suggested by some, would I be able to take what I currently pay Cigna and buy coverage through Medicare?
That would obviously address most of the expense problem associated with Medicare-For-All.
Cool, which polls were those? I'd be interested to see more about them.
Is “now” a good time for you, Senator? Congressman? . . .
