The Right Take: Democrats will overreach; count on it.

Good morning and welcome to The Right Take, your place for right of center commentary about all things Michigan. I'm Nolan Finley, editorial page editor of The Detroit News and I'm your host. Democrats will return to Lansing in January in total control of state government . So what does history teach us about what they'll do with their new power: Overreach . The same is true in Washington, where the mid-term elections handed them majorities in both chambers of Congress. Just look at 2008. Like this one, that election was a rebuke of a sitting presiden t and his agenda. Voters turned out to punish George W. Bush and his handling of the Iraq War. That cost Michigan Republicans their hold on the state House. Democrats, who also scored big wins in Washington, saw them as an affirmation of the far-left policy promises their candidates ran on, and that influenced how they governed. In Washington, Congress pushed through Obamacare. Voters reacted to the surge to the left by sweeping out Democrats in 2010 and welcoming back Republicans, who took nearly every office in Lansing, giving incoming Gov. Rick Snyder a legislative majority to support him. Dace Potas of USA

Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan propels ‘Medicare for All’ debate

LANSING — Fifteen years working as an emergency room nurse has convinced Kim Bogan that the only way to fix the American healthcare system is to tear it down and start over. Her patients arriving for triage are sicker than ever. They can’t afford many of the prescriptions they get in the ER. And sometimes when patients die, she wonders if she could have saved them had she not been caring for five or six other people at once.
