how would you propose to fund medicare for all?

Payroll tax that ends up being much less for anyone who makes less than 250k or so. For rich folks the cost for their health care is going to go up.

In Germany we have a form of #MedicareForAll, and other European countries have it too. It works and keeps the prices low. And with all the citizens the US has the individual contribution will be lower as well. The only loser will be big pharma.

Germany makes you get insurance from an employer or the market, like the ACA. They just did a better job of implementing it. I suspect the Dems sabotaged the ACA on purpose. So the could claim private insurance doesn't work and nationalize insurance.

Is Medicare for all going to make prices skyrocket?

No, the opposite. The reimbursable rates for Medicare are quite a bit lower than for private. Private insurers have no interest in seeing costs go down.

Ma'am, I honestly think we can't get anywhere near socialized medicine until we promote a healthy culture in the US. France (for example) can execute it because their obesity rates are half of ours.

Great point. Over 50% of Americans eat fast food at least once every 24 hours. A big problem is that the food pyramid was a lie and people were following it.
