Implement Single Payer Health Care for All

The best solution for our health insurance problem is a single payer system (a universal medicare plan) at the federal level.  See my federal plan.  However, if that does not happen, we should do the same thing at the state level.

I do not favor any of the plans proposed by the three Presidential candidates.  All of those pump more money to the insurance companies who are fully capable of absorbing additional money .  The administrative costs of  private health insurance average 31 % while Medicare administrative costs are 3%.  The costs for  executive salaries and claims denial bonuses along with salaries for attorneys and claims specialists to deny claims are avoided in the Medicare system. 

The coverage should be available to all.  We should all pay premiums which are means tested with higher income people paying more.

Again see my federal plan for more detail.
