Who would you rather have managing YOUR health care needs? Which one do you think cares more about MAKING PROFITS and which one cares more about YOUR HEALTH?

MEDICARE FOR ALL...its easy to define and easy to defend.

4. Yes, but all things being equal, two hundred thousand versus three million paid out for salary
