2. Expand Medicare to cover everyone from age 55 and up. Allow time (1-2 years) for current markets to settle and for employees in the insurance industry to change jobs. Keep in mind that *many* health insurance employees are nurses, who can transition...

Into direct patient care as more and more currently uninsured patients get access to care. 3. Continue to lower the coverage age for Medicare by 10 years every 1-2 years until all are covered. The step-wise approach will prevent massive job losses.

All would have to be written into the law so that future congresses would not be able to stop the transition. Obviously this would require a Congress that is heavily composed of Democrats.

it’s been a while since i have read her plan, but this all feels remarkably like hillary clinton’s healthcare policy. (not saying you copied, not at all - just that this reads a lot more like hillary’s policy than bernie’s ‘medicare for all’ idea)

Ok, found your question! When I say “my” plan, I just mean that this is the idea that makes the most sense to me. I’m sure others have proposed this or something similar. I haven’t read Hillary’s plan in quite some time and don’t remember the details. So it’s certainly...

Possible that hers was in the same vein!

ok, that helps me. i was coming at your tweets thinking you wanted medicare for all and was confused. i’d like to reiterate i wasn’t insinuating you copied her, not. at. all. - just trying for a reference. her policy is still up, too, if ever you’re interested.

Well, I do want M4A. But I want to do it in a phased in way, strengthening what we’ve already got while we make the transition.
