First off the average person probably just re book with the same airline for a canceled flight. And if they don't they probably pay more for another flight which this won't cover. And it won't actually do anything to get airlines to avoid further mass cancelations. It's not a fine on Southwest if they cancel 10,000 flights. Its just not that big of a deal to me.
But when Sanders was suggesting hey what if Healthcare was a God given right and should be affordable to everyone? Well they didn't care because they never have to worry about money except when it comes I guess to all their canceled flights!
I've never seen a media pundit say hey maybe the moderate is the one who thinks America shouldn't have the highest Healthcare inflation in the world. It's never moderate to save American lives and lower inflation. It's only moderate I guess to have window dressing policy that mostly only marginally benefits an elite class of pundits that fly a lot.
