Go ahead and raise our family's taxes $300-$400 a month! We'll save $500-$600 a month! Please! Raise our taxes for Medicare for All. Please, please, please.
ACA healthcare insurance costs us just as much as it did before the ACA. $900 a month for 3 policies.
It's all going to take time to overhaul our HORRENDOUS healthcare system. It took, what? Five years to get the ACA set up and implemented? Medicare for all shouldn't take that long because the Medicare system is already in place. They just have to add every single citizen to it, change hospital systems, doctor systems, get rid of the damn insurance companies and get drug prices lowered and regulated...and a lot of inner workings changed, but it will be worth it. And we deserve it!
It will be worth the wait.
It will be a LOT less per month than paying insurance CEO salaries is.
Every other major country on this planet has Universal Healthcare for their citizens. I think the Wealthiest Country on the planet can too.
PEACE
