What’s the answer? The Answer is "Medicare for all" with a single payer program for ALL U.S. citizens and legal resident aliens with the withholding of premiums from wages of everyone going into the program just a Medicare does today along with Social Security. Just as Medicare has buy up programs through insurers, like "Medicare Plus" employers could provide the added benefit for a quarter of what they are paying now allowing them to pay higher wages like the Federal Government raising the minimum wage to $18.75. The Insurance Lobby would love the "PLUS" programs since most people would buy them and the catastrophic "pay outs" would be minimized like Medicare covers them now. States would love this so they would not have to have their own Medicaid programs and everybody is covered from Birth. Problem Solved ! If and when congress ends the filibuster and rams this through before the end of 2022.
