I'm really curious about the following: We talk about Medicare, Healthcare (in general) constantly. I have built quite a few hospitals, healthcare software, and commissioned several hospitals as well. My brother is the head of the VA for the entire state of Alaska. Healthcare is a wedge issue every single election cycle. Yet here we are. Again talking about "medicare for all" (again) and ironically enough, we seem (IMO) to be addressing the symptom and never the cause. Costs are out of control across the board - and rather than addressing insurance and pharma (actually addressing, not lip service to injustice) - we try to apply a bandaid via medical subsidies. I find it really ironic that 'Healthcare' in the united states is a malignant tumor which keeps metastasizing as the decades progress. /rant
