Biden is a centrist aka read right leaning Democrat without the window dressing of "centrist" and there is no wonder that he teases people with promises he will never deliver.

And yet I think there is a middle way between Medicare for All and Private Health Insurance; and that is a heavily regulated Health Insurance devoted to the Common Good - meaning Healthcare for all as a right.

The Mutual of Omaha is a health insurance company that operates near cost. This could be part of a health Insurance for all model. Here is where government regulation plays a big role - rather than relying on "free" market capitalism which benefit the corporations and the rich. The Japanese have it why not us?

That aside Progressives like Bernie Sanders have pushed for progressive reform in the Biden Administration. They could do the same under a heavily regulatory battle.
