Agreed. The idea of "medicare for all" was a half step that was attempted because it was deemed to be more politically saleable than "socialist" health care to very partisan voters. Expanding the present medicare system without massive changes not only be likely to decrease the quality of care but would be horrifically inefficient. The US needs a rework of its health care system from the Federal level down, probably using something like the South Korean system as a model (which notably is NOT socialized medicine).
