increasing and their doctors -- and even their nurses and other employees -- are going to get a big pay cut when we are forced to cut costs.

The supposed 6% cut in administrative costs and $600 per capita cut in drug costs (which are only about 8% of our health care costs anyway), ain't going to make make healthcare that much more affordable.

Providers -- doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare workers -- are going to take a hit too. That's probably long overdue, but Warren has yet to face the realities in standing firm for Medicare-for-All with the addition of dental, vision, hearing aides, etc., and no deductibles, no co-insurance, etc. That's likely a loser in general election, and will put us even further away from the goal of universal coverage.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
