        Healthcare should be a matter of national security and included in military budget. God knows they could pinch a fraction and cover the world.

        I have two staff members that literally only work (fulll time) to have health insurance, and the cost of it eats their whole paycheck up.

        Do you have any idea what that would cost? I work in Medicare fraud investigations. The amount of fraud would go up 10 fold.

        You're right - no fraud happens at all in the private sector. Secondly, seniors unfortunately are very susceptible to being duped. Medicare For All won't be the same as our current Medicare system.

        You don't need Medicare-for-all to fix this. A public option with Medicaid expansion would fix this perfectly, for cheaper, too.

        A public option does not get rid of insurance companies or the extra cost that they create. It doesn't cover eye care or dental. And, a public option doesn't guarantee coverage for everyone. Stop listening to centrist Nate. He's not smart.
