One thing I think a lot of people are underestimating is that the health care system in this country is ready to crack and both users and providers are at wit's end, literally suicidal in enough cases, so the number of people who have someone near and dear experiencing this is huge.
It may very well be more of that and that the effect of Trump hate is being over-estimated by all of us news junkies and Twitter users and the like.
As far as Obama-Trump voters, a reminder that Trump promised to fix it!
I'm not sure that the tagline "Medicare for all" is the best, though. Not if people read it as Medicare as it is. There's plenty enough bankruptcies among the elderly due to things Medicare doesn't cover.
But I do think there is a hunger for someone like Bernie emphasizing the topic, it shows up as a priority in poll after poll after poll, people who access the system are ready to crack and those who don't are frightened of same.
