(29,166 posts)until after Sept 30. Let's NOT make this a choice between single payer and Trumpcare 3.0
Save the ACA first, then introduce single payer in stages...
I would first see if we can introduce single payer "sniffle care", with a co-pay of, say, $20 per doctor visit. Free annual checkups. and it treats most common medical issues (colds and flu and broken bones, etc).
Say something like a $1500 cap per year for each person living in the US (citizens if you must... but I would argue anyone for the simple reason that if you treat a visitor or illegal resident for a communicable disease at a cost of $1000, you save much more than that on the people that would get sick because of catching whatever it is that the first sick person has).
This gets everyone in to see a doctor... treats most people for many common problems.
Save the ACA for everything else. Insurance that most people don't use until they are older. Mandated and regulated.

The women did an excellent job explaining what the EVIL LYING REPUBLICANS
want to do to this countries health care system.
Lindsey Graham is obnoxious beyond belief.
