Healthcare

I’m in favor of Universal Coverage.

This is not the same as “Medicare for All”. Medicare is an insurance plan. In fact, it’s a set of insurance plans, with the Part A, Part B, Part D, and the premiums and the co-pays and the donut hole and all that. Plus the yearly requirement to revisit one’s choices on each item. And it doesn’t cover Dental, of course, so that's an extra you have to find and buy and re-choose on a yearly basis. Who wants all that?
