That's exactly the issue. The time to sell it to me is *now* while you're campaigning don't you agree??? Why do I have to wait until you're in office to hear the *how*?? I am an average citizen & after years of hearing about M4A it hasnt been sold to me yet. Ridiculous.https://twitter.com/politicalmablog/status/1025108089605771264 …

@DrMann4Congress can you tag your m4a plan for this young lady. This is why we need more doctors in congress. Everyone else can't explain what they don't know.

I’d be happy to. Here’s a link to a post I did 1 year ago with my argument for SP from a physician standpoint. If you want to hear more, like how to implement it, how to pay for it, let me know. https://www.facebook.com/1794413547546771/posts/1876088562712602/ …

Does the government set pricing & thus strip the ability to control profit margins away from providers or is there going to be regular negotiations such as there is now with insurance companies? BTW, I am including medical equipment providers in these questions.

Now, about funding this. Of course, you can roll together the funds that are already used for Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA. However, Medicaid is partially paid for by individual states. How do you propose that money getting to the federal government?

I’m not sure that would be a good idea. Here in Texas, our lege has decimated the healthcare system, especially Medicaid. I don’t trust them at all. I think regional vs federal control is a negotiable point, not set in stone.
