Krug seems to be evolving on Medicare for all, hmm paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-us-hea...

Was he against it? In Conscience of a Liberal (2007), he advocated for a public option, believing it would out-compete all private, for-profit plans to become the dominant or only payer, thereby giving us a single-payer system.

After the public option died during the ACA debates (fuck Joe Lieberman), Krugman seems to have quietly stopped mentioning it. His four points of healthcare reform became a "three-legged stool." But I haven't read ALL of his writings.
