Letter to USA Today

Re: Donald Trump and Medicare for All
If you were the CEO of a company called the US Health Care System and told your Board of Directors that your system spent 40% more per capita than your competing countries, wasted $750 billion on wasteful and duplicative care, paid the highest drug prices in the world – by far, left 30 million uninsured and an equal number with deductibles that would bankrupt the average American family, and had a life expectancy for all this money that put your company in the bottom 25% of developed nations, what would the Board say? How about chuck the current business plan? Find out what the other countries are doing better than us and steal their best ideas. That is why 70% of Americans support Medicare for All. What is radical is maintaining a health system that is this complex and greedy.
