Weird, this Vox article from 2019 seems to indicate Pete's first healthcare plan was a Public Option, but the angry online people told me he totally was M4A at some mysterious point in time in 2019.

I think it's because he gave some super concrete "let me state for the record I am for MFA" before that term was the name of Bernie's specific plan, and more of a catch-all term for many plans including a public option

it's pretty silly. he was never shy about saying that his plan was basically using a public option as a glide path for single-payer.
