"We need medicare for all"

Medicare for all will fail in half a century. You will see it in other countries. Its already starting to consume government budgets.

People also need to be willing to socialize health care delivery (like the VA does) in order to keep costs down. Simply socializing the insurance/payment end will not forever contain costs in a manner that is affordable for an entire nation. Whether you start by just creating state hospitals that do cardiac or cancer treatment only, paying doctors a public salary (instead of fee per service), something must be done more than simply insuring all citizens.
