Medicare for All would help individuals, but does too little to stop rising costs - you get the benefit of government negotiation and annihilate insurance overhead, but it’s not enough. You help people in the short term, but ultimately you only delay the day of reckoning.

I already posted a link showing doctor and nurse compensation have been flat in the same time period that medical costs increased 10x faster than inflation. While free university might be a good idea for other reasons, this isn’t it.

You don't have the benefit of government negotiation today and you cant seriously say that the government runs without overhead.
