1st I believe mcare for all would be a good start but in order to improve actual health care, we need to train more providers which I think can nicely tie into college tuition. We do currently have a program that pays for doctors, nurse practitioners and physicians assistant who contract to work in under served areas. Most are rural. That kind of program should be greatly expanded. Mcare also does not pay for essential care like dental and vision. There are so many limitations on criteria for outpatient services. Also including in a mcare for all program would be expansion into many more clinics. Increase in home care services. Available services in public places, like schools, libraries, post offices, bus stations, employers I could go on.
You seem to want to have an argument about payment and cost, I am focused on actual health care. That is where the cost will decrease by decreasing the number of sick people. But that is a side benefit, the real benefit is to society.
