"Medicare for all" would solve a lot of problems and will leave holes that would need to be batched state by state. The 35% overhead the tax payers pick up currently would be reduce to 1.5%.

The math is clear even if we pick up 10 percent of the cost it would still be less than the current system.


What is your solution BTW?
I believe the Republicans suggestion to scale it down and take it one step at a time is a better method. We can't afford muuch of anything right now, and I don't see how it's only 10% of the current system, but I'm not doing the math. The hard fact is that there can't be a legitimate restructuring of the health care system at ALL until we have stopped the astronomical deficit spending and started producing again.
