Despite Trump's Accusations, Democrats Have Largely Avoided Medicare for All
Briefly

Democrats promoting the Biden administration's health care achievements at their convention have largely moved away from Medicare for All, once a central issue for progressives, in favor of more moderate health care policies.
Vice President Kamala Harris's shift away from supporting Medicare for All highlights her strategy to appeal to moderate voters, reflecting the broader retreat of progressives from this ambitious health care goal.
President Biden’s healthcare priorities during his campaign and presidency focused on increasing Medicaid enrollment and expanding the Affordable Care Act, steering away from the progressive push for single-payer health insurance.
The challenges in passing Medicare for All remain significant, as even with a Democratic majority in Congress, there would likely not be enough support to move such legislation through.
