'The dream of Medicare for all: Here's why the Sanders health plan is more hope than change'
"Sanders has done a great public service in putting single-payer up for debate in the heat of a Presidential campaign. But his plan evokes the other part of Bismarck's adage, which is that politics is also "the art of the next best." At this stage in the maturity of America's debate on healthcare reform, the Affordable Care Act is the next best thing to single-payer. It may be years before the next step can happen."
