6. I can not think why, given the high quality care provided under ACA plans, we would need a whole

other bureaucracy to replace it, and Medicare, and Medicaid, while at the same time, millions will be deprived of employer provided and retirement benefit plans they like.

True, ACA needs work, first to bring it back fully and protect it, and then to improve it. The money that would be spent on single payer such as M4A can go toward expanding subsidies and making ACA more affordable. This, improving ACA, is what was intended before Trump began crushing it.

Under mandate, Medicaid can be expanded in all states who turned federal help down, and with an adjustment in eligibility, could serve many more lower income people than it does currently.

The age for Medicare can be lowered to 55.

Then we deal with coverage for some millions falling through the cracks.

Why reinvent the wheel?
