I need help thinking this through...

3. We really need to research how other countries fund their universal care.

Those on Medicare paid for it during their working career so how could Medicare for all work without working out the funding for millions who have not paid into it?

Other countries have figured it out. We have some serious, complex research to do. Many tout their employer provided care but is that really a bargain with the payroll deductions, co-pays, 3k-5k deductibles when you try to use it?

And then there are the generous union-negotiated plans that beneficiaries don't want to give up, even for a Medicare-type plan. And we also have to add in that Medicare only pays 80% of the cost. You have to have a supplemental plan that you pay for for the other 20%. Hello! Who has 20k if you hospital bill is 100k?

So there's a lot to work on. It can be done. A new Dem president has to immediately appoint a research group to come up with a workable plan as O did with the ACA. It should not include Christie Wittman.
