This is why I think people overestimate the prospects of a President Biden enacting a public option. Industry opposition will be massive because if it’s designed to be effective, insurers and providers and pharma have a lot to lose. Obama couldn’t do it w/ 60 caucusing Senate Ds. — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanTrende agreed, but I think the more common pushback is not to the idea of cost-benefit, but to framing this as a binary between the economy and public health. economists seem to agree the economy would ultimately suffer *more* if lockdowns lifted too quickly - https://t.co/8ZCa5HPOe2 — PolitiTweet.org

Or to put it differently, there was so much focus in the Dem primary about how politically un-passable single payer was that it obscured how difficult it’ll be to get a public insurance option that is effective. Industry lobbyists have already begun a campaign to crush the idea. — PolitiTweet.org
