Everyone knows this. Unfortunately that’s not happening anytime soon.

Not true. The first universal healthcare plans seemed impossible only a decade before they happened.
Change happens slowly then all at once. Like pushing over a column. 90% of that time you won’t think anything is happening. Until that first budge.

Debatable, but I think there are a few important questions to ask: would this would be meaningfully better than the status quo? (Marginally at best) Would it broadly impact Americans? (Doubtful, 5-10% of workers are unionized)
And most importantly, IMO, would it be a distraction that allows us to put off tackling the universal health care issue sooner? I believe the answer to that one is a big yes.
