We need to have Medicare for all not another band aid law.

7. Too burdensome on small businesses

I would say a public option that would act like Medicare for all in the ACA, leave the tax structure as is, those that want to provide healthcare can do so, they also got the option to pay for the public option in the individual market under ACA. All government subsidies go to the public option, otherwise pay the premium to the private market if you choose. Let people vote with their pocketbook, and if they choose the public option. It will de facto be Medicare for all.

All Medicare protections (there is a huge amount outside actual coverage) applied to the public option things like only allowed to charge up to Medicare allowed cost, is deductible is not paid in 18 months, Medicare reimburses, cannot sue for the cost above that privately. All protections that are written Medicare that people don't realize

As an additional protection, Medicare, optional at 55. And see what happens.


Politicians would not be happy, number 1 wedge issue gone
