1. Painfully true, but... no cause to abandon all hope, change will only come by a long term...

3. good idea, needs a little more work
"we'll come up with a bill that's not economical and efficient medicare for all, the kind you like" goes by in such a way that I think the point isn't clear. It almost sounds like she could be saying that "medicare for all" is not economical and efficient. In fact, in a quick listen, I think it's hard to get any clear point out of the line, it just sounds kinda jumbled up. Better phrasing might be something more like "I've got an idea. Instead of economical and efficient medicare for all, we'll come up with the kind of plan you like"

4. REP/DEM HEALTH AD
I agree that this ad is a good start but needs some work.
Though, before seeing it I had an idea that it would be something else.I mean that I thought it might portray two persons standing side by side (R & D) but.... that they would both be AGREEING (from their own perspectives) as to why they WANT & NEED a government-run health care situation. I think we should work on THIS. Kinda like starting with the party-philosophy then agreeing to abandom it because neither see it fitting into their real life situations. They agree to side on behalf of humanity---perhaps each naming a personal situation that made them re-think their philosophy, and further, that they agree there came a line not to be crossed.
We should work at something that puts both party-persons in the same boat----AGREEING! Let's start a new story.....create a new myth.....ACT AS IF it were true...... thereby making it true.
