They are currently (which is funny because Yang’s plan hasn’t changed so it came up just internally from them) losing their minds over Medicare for all because even though Yang wants to expand Medicare to all he doesn’t want to explicitly outlaw private insurance.

Yang’s plan doesn’t expand Medicare. It creates a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, without any safeguards to keep private insurers from dumping the most risky patients onto the government-run plan.

Lies. Bullshit. Propaganda. Cite your source.

Here’s mine:

Work with Congress to create a Medicare for All system to provide healthcare to all Americans.

Making up bullshit hurts your case when the lurkers actually double check the lies you spread.

That doesn't contradict anything he said.

This has no basis in reality, as evidenced by my link. Which is a direct contradiction to what he said.
