62. My original post wasn't about M4A, (that would be "Medicare for All" for those who don't keep up...

...with the various abbreviations used around here), but I do agree with the majority of your points on the matter.
I don’t see why, since we already have the most expensive health insurance and health care on the planet, it should cost us even more to have the kind of insurance people in other nations have at a much lower cost? It seems to me that we are already over paying and getting less benefits than we should. The two main selling points of M4A are cost reduction and providing insurance for everyone.
The main reason I support Bernie Sanders regarding this issue is that, even though it is going to be hard to accomplish, (as you have effectively pointed out), I believe any Democrat running for any office should do all he/she can to make M4A a reality in America.
I think the trumpvirus is a good argument in support of M4A. The failures of private, employer based health insurance are more apparent now than they were even two months ago.
I think this is a good time for Democratic candidates to commit to supporting M4A.
While I fully expect Joe Biden will become the Democratic nominee, (and I will be voting for him), I would like to hear him, as heir-apparent leader of the party, make the case that M4A should be one pf the goals of the party.
This is one reason I have no desire to see the debates end now. If Joe Biden changes his position to being fully supportive of M4A I believe his support among Democrats will go up.
As you pointed out, the current form of Medicare has shortcomings. I understand this as I am currently on Medicare. But, any form of universal health insurance in America has to start with something. And, like any other program, it can be improved upon.
