I'm supportive of course, but not sure I see what the point of rallying in Boston is. If they want to have an impact, go to Georgia and campaign for Jon Ossoff: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/democrat-gaining-ground-in-...

Stein was the least qualified candidate in 2016, but maybe Putin can get her up to speed for 2020.

Here’s where Elizabeth Warren
Here’s where Elizabeth Warren stands on a single-payer health care system

The vast plurality of Americans receive their health insurance through work. And that fact in itself could be a mighty barrier to reform — in a country where most dislike taxes — according to J. Michael McWilliams, a health care policy professor at Harvard Medical School.
“Currently workers pay much of their health insurance premium through reduced wages, but most believe their employers bear the costs of their health insurance,” McWilliams said. “It is a hidden tax. Shifting to a financing scheme typical of a single-payer system would make working adults’ contributions to the system more clearly a tax, which even if equivalent to what they pay now may be unappealing to many.”

It's not a tax. It's voluntary.
Shifting to single-payer system would make it involuntary.
