By Aaron Blake September 12 at 9:39 AM

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) became the 4th co-sponsor of Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) “Medicare for all” health-care pecker Monday. In doing so, he joined Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as well as Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.). 
What create those iv senators accept inward common? Well, they simply hand to establish iv of the 8 most probable 2020 Democratic presidential nominees, according to the handy listing I issue Friday. 
Update: Gillibrand simply signed on to Sanders's "Medicare for all" bill. So forthwith five of my peak 8 potential 2020 Democratic nominees accept forthwith come upwards out for the pecker -- earlier it is fifty-fifty introduced. "Health assist should hold upwards a right, non a privilege, as well as hence I volition hold upwards joining Senator Bernie Sanders every bit a cosponsor on his Medicare-for-All legislation," Gillibrand said.

Does "single payer" hateful there is a unmarried payer that anyone can purpose -- but you're gratis to purchase as well as sell your ain insurance on peak of that, hopefully deregulated since in that place is no involve to regulate anymore, everyone has access to medicare for all? Or does "single payer" hateful in that place is a unmarried payer that everyone must purpose -- somebody insurance, somebody practice, simply paying cash illegal, to cross-subsidize the system? I fearfulness the latter. We'll see.

The previous champion was stories on the same page inward WSJ, to a greater extent than or less ``self driving trucks coming soon'' as well as ``shortage of truck drivers.'' I lost the link.
