Both are 2020 contenders, and both have now come out in support of single-payer health-care legislation. Well, they just happen to constitute four of the eight most likely 2020 Democratic presidential nominees, according to the handy list I put out Friday. And it suggests the dam is breaking when it comes to the Democratic Party embracing government-run health care, also known as single-payer. I argued back in July that the biggest winner of the Obamacare repeal debate was single-payer. The poll showed just 33 percent overall favored single-payer specifically — versus a “mix of government and private programs” — but among Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters, 52 percent wanted single-payer.
