        I have a Trump follower I work with. I laid out an idea for him on how everyone could be covered. (single payer) He liked (1/2)

        it. A lot. Then I said, "Dude, I just explained a single payer system" He was a little taken aback, and could not refute it.

        single payer would be better. Nationalizing the healthcare system would probably be best.

        I'd bet he's using the term Bernie introduced which is "single payer Medicare for all" a little odd, but catchy

        I'm sure, but go to the nurses page for a description. It's not the same thing. So be distinct.

        while Medicare for all would be better, it's not as good as single payer.

        Single payer works. Canada (both govt and individuals) pay less money per capita for greater care that doesn't bankrupt the ill.

        As long as you re-work Medicare Part D to allow the gov’t to negotiate lower drug prices. What a huge money waster as it is now!

        any system in the wrong hands is dangerous. Providing healthcare to all seems less dangerous than military/industrial.

        Actually, the data indicates that we would pay less and get better outcomes if we switched to singlepayer:http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2015/oct/us-health-care-from-a-global-perspective …
