I don't get this. Here you're implicitly supporting the administration's incrementalist approach to healthcare reform (i.e. can't replace the employer-based system because the commercially-insured would revolt), in as much as single payer / Medicare For All would all would represent benefit cuts for many of those with commercial insurance (e.g. Medicare's copays are far higher than my union healthcare plan).
