Uh you've read Yang's plan? He's proposing seizing patents and manufacturing generics in government facilities if pharmaceutical companies don't bring costs down to international standards. That's a 10x price reduction.

I don't think Yang is a bad guy. He's just not the right guy to be president. And you can't have a value-add to a program if the program doesn't exist. Medicare For All would have to be the policy to "value-add" anything onto it. I don't get what you mean by value-add
