I agree with that because you have to have - healthy people to offset

costs of sick people with healthy people. It was the point of the mandate with the ACA. We see how well that went though. Many people just don't understand that if just sick people have insurance, rates are just going to skyrocket, as they did with ACA.

I would have no problem with Medicare for all but republicans see that as making us a socialist country and they don't understand the benefit of national healthcare and rely on Tweets instead of actual research on how different versions of national healthcare works in countries with very successful national healthcare.

I personally would settle for the option of being able to buy into Medicare. That way people could keep their insurance if they wanted but the option would be there for people that wanted to buy into Medicare and many of those would be healthy people.

Again, like the mandate, people are in an uproar over the fact that national healthcare would make you join Medicare and they don't like to be told they have to and I don't think it would ever go over but with the option to buy in, nobody is being forced to join so it would make that a moot point.

The Medicaid expansion was also something that would have helped with the ACA but a lot of republican states refused to take the expansion, but when the citizens in those states found out how not taking the expansion hurt them, they decided they wanted the expansion so they would be able to lower the costs for healthcare and more people would be able to afford it.

I think at this point in time, democrats need to be pushing for the option of buying into Medicare because too many people are against totally national healthcare and you have to find a way that would make everybody happy and it's definitely not going to happen with a national healthcare only option.
