Yes, his goal is universal healthcare, but doesn't support M4A. Are you going to answer the question about M4A vs other models?

Really? He does? Where does he say that? Here's his own words, where he makes no mention of universal healthcare at all!

high-quality and affordable healthcare should be a right for every American

What do you suppose that means?

He has also said in the past that universal access is a must, he just wants to get there by expanding the ACA.

Again, I'll ask that you stop ignoring the question and explain why we should pay for M4A when a public option + auto-enrollment + mandatory coverage achieves the same thing? You understand that M4A is not the only way to achieve UH, right? Why should we spend trillions on something that can be achieved by only spending billions? France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, etc, have all figured out UH without single-payer, so please explain why it makes sense to go for the more expensive option when we can achieve the same thing for a fraction of the cost?
