With what is happening to the ACA - the Democrats should seize the opportunity to produce a Medicare For All

Plan and sell it like crazy. Now is the time - and the most ripe the country is for a system that is "all in" and not one that provides subsidies to private insurance companies with tax payer dollars. Just look at where the $ go. Taxpayers pay bloated insurance companies so much money to support a system that still requires people to have extremely high yearly deductibles. And without that taxpayer money . . . look at what insurance companies are actually charging people. Fighting so hard to put back all that money to "subsidize" insurance companies with our money is so obviously crazy it's no wonder other countries have found a better way.
