Well if that is what you want you better hope Democrats have control of all branches or it has zero chance. Shit, even if Dems control all branches but the numbers are close in the Senate or House it could fail. Some form of universal healthcare is really popular now but there are plenty of moderates that are skeptical.Democratic Platform in 2020 should be two words: Universal Medicaid.
Hell on the knees, by the way.
Plus, it would have to survive future administrations/Congress that would try to dismantle it, like they're trying to do with the ACA (which is less progressive).
At this point I'd settle for divided government 2019-2020 and a sane administration with a modest agenda. We've sunk so low I just hope for a government that doesn't fuck things up at this point.
