(42,023 posts)Medicare as it IS is right now, is problematic with certain reimbursements for hospitals and healthcare providers. If we do this they better have a viable planNOT Bernies legislation which has holes a mile wide it it. We need to tackle pharmaceutical companies along side or before allowing them to set their own prices is insane; if we socialize medical care We ALSO need to address the provider and caregiver shortage that will occur, especially in impoverished and rural areas.
The administration of M4A would actually increase government jobs though, although Medicare as it is right now is administered using private insurance companies. I would love to see a more efficient administrative process than we have.
There are many points to be addressed and I want our politicians to address those practical aspects of this.
