Jonathan Cohn kicks off this week’s book club making the case for thinking big on health care:
I realize that much of the media elite – and, more broadly, the entire political class – already thinks single-payer is not feasible. But we’re not yet at the point of the debate where those boundaries are fixed. This is the time when educating and organizing – both the public and the political class – can actually broaden the political playing field. By preemptively rejecting single-payer, we narrow that field.
