I agree with the idea of providing a basic level of care and coverage for everyone. Something that I haven’t heard from any of the Medicare For All plans is how to address the insurance industry. Assuming the vast majority of Americans are using M4A then is there really a use in the insurance industry being part of M4A? I still think there is a place for private insurance, but at the same time you need to reduce the insurance industry to probably a third of what it is today. If you aren’t going to do that and simply offer M4A as another insurance vehicle that the current insurance companies can sell then I hardly see the point. Part of your pricing issue is too many fingers in the pot with too much speculation. So how exactly do you drastically trim a trillion dollar industry?
