Realistic Healthcare- Medicare for all doesn't cut it [View all]

As a person who has owned his own business and had payed healthcare out of his own pocket I have always been for some sort of single payer.

i turn 65 this year and I started to look at medicare. It is not a panacea. It is a single instance system each person is to him or her self. At my income level i will be paying almost $390 and month without prescription coverage. I take no meds so I'll get a low prescription.

Multiply that by 4 and you are at $1600. That is practically what insurance costs now. How do we get there realistically?
