.@SenSanders is technically correct, but there's a bit more to the story...
acasignups.net/20/12/23/sen-s…
Yesterday, @SenSanders tweeted this out:
I decided to check into this. I found that only 1 Senator (Tammy Baldwin of WI) and 2 House members (Katie Porter of CA-45 and Johana Hayes of CT-05) *represent a swing state/district* AND openly/loudly state their support of "pure" M4All on their campaign websites.
And even then, Sen. Baldwin strongly supports other bills to expand coverage and is open to whatever can find common ground etc, so she’s not a purist about it.
On the flip side, there were several M4All Dems who failed to flip GOP-held seats (Kara Eastman, etc)...while the 3 who *did* do so (Bourdeaux, Ross & Manning) all support ACA 2.0/Public Option.

📣 Tonight is Christmas Eve, so here's a thread about a so-called "Christian Health Sharing Ministry" which dives into Inception-level surreality. 1/
"Health Sharing Ministries" (usually offered by "Christian" organizations but occasionally via non-Christian groups) are promoted as an alternative to actual health insurance policies. They've become much more popular since the #ACA became law because they're less expensive. 2/
HOWEVER, there's some REASONS why they're less expensive than #ACA-compliant policies:

"Although HCSMs are not insurance & DO NOT GUARANTEE PAYMENT OF CLAIMS, their features closely mimic traditional insurance products, possibly confusing consumers." 3/

Yesterday, @SenSanders stated that "every M4All co-sponsor up for re-election beat their Republican opponent."

This is technically correct, but there's quite a bit more to the story... acasignups.net/20/12/23/sen-s…
The Senate M4All bill has 15 sponsors total. 9 were up for re-election in 2018 or 2020.

8 represent blue states.
1 represents a swing state (Sen. Baldwin).

She openly promotes M4All...but also states she's open to any other healthcare bills if they can find "common ground." 2/
The House M4All bill has 119 sponsors total. 4 left office for one reason or another; 115 were indeed re-elected.

106 represent districts which are D+5 or bluer.

Of the 9 who aren't, only 2 of them (Porter CA-45 and Hayes CT-05) *openly promote* their support of M4All. 3/

Trump just pardoned war criminals and has offered to pay the legal fees for his supporters who beat up protesters. What’s to stop him from openly telling his domestic terrorist base to follow through with their threats, have them charged in federal court and then pardoning them?
He’s still in office for 27 more days thanks to the GOP Senate, Barr just left leaving an even BIGGER Trump sycophant in charge of the DoJ for the next 4 weeks...while the public is distracted by Christmas, New Year’s & a mountain of COVID deaths.
Several have noted that his pardon won’t help with state charges...but some of THEM won’t know that. I suspect that’s why he’s floating pardoning Rittenhouse. He’s been told he can’t—but his base may hear about it and assume he can.

Last night I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just making a snarky joke.
But let’s suppose she was correct and but let’s suppose she was correct, and the President really did have the power to institute M4All immediately via XO. In one fell swoop, millions of legal contracts between carriers & providers, carriers & employers become null & void.
Doctors and hospitals, many of which are already on the verge of closing, suddenly see their revenue plummet by ~40% or so. Abortion suddenly has to be paid for 100% out of pocket by every woman in America who wants one.

What’s the partisan lean of each of those districts?
Update: I answered my own question. The average partisan lean of all 116 districts where the sitting House Dem is a M4All cosponsor is D+19 according to @CookPolitical.
There are only 13 districts among those which are D+5 or worse.
