33. I like the Medicare for All plan.
Eliminate the duplication of management, the extremely high salaries, and other factors of having so many private insurance companies. Work from a single pool, which will include every person in America. Figure out a rate schedule for premiums, subsidize the poor, and make arrangements for the elderly. Central establishment of payments to providers, negotiations for pharmaceutical prices, etc. Let the private insurers sell supplemental policies as they do now for Medicare recipients.

Simple, doable, and necessary.

Medicare for All - It's what will work.
