I guess you didnt know, but Sanders plan is NOT one singel national health plan.
http://www.medicareforall.org/pages/HR676_and_S915
Sanders S. 915 Companion bill: H.R. 1200 in House
50-56 plans: fifty state health insurance plans, plus possibly D.C. and each territory, for all citizens and lawful aliens
Lower efficiency and productivity:
Fifty or more administrative organizations in addition to the national administrative organization. Fifty sets of legislators involved plus the U.S. legislators
Conyers H.R. 676 No companion bill in the U.S. Senate
1 plan: one national health insurance plan for all residents
Highest efficiency and productivity:
One administration organization
Takes advantage of the existing Medicare administration already in place. Can be set up and needs to be set up to be isolated from the U.S. legislators day-to-day decision-making, influenced by the people instead of by corporate lobbyists.
