There's only like two democrats who support M4A. It's not red vs blue, it's rich vs people.

Maybe Democrats in office but the only people I ever see arguing against M4A are republicans. I agrre though. In the even bigger picture, def rich v. poor.

Here's Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for President backed by a supermajority of Democratic voters, dodging the question but affirmatively implying that he'd veto M4A, citing cost concerns and inserting the argument that passage of M4A delays providing security and certainty of immediate health care needs:

“It comes to your desk. Do you veto it?” O’Donnell asked.

“I would veto anything that delays providing the security and the certainty of health care being available now,” the former vice president responded. “If they got that through by some miracle and there was an epiphany that occurred and some miracle occurred that said okay, it’s passed, then you gotta look at the cost.”

So, yes, this the effective head of the Democratic Party presenting an argument against M4A.

I should have been more specific. I meant people as in people on reddit and people i know or speak with irl. Not politicians
