Jensen Bohren: Cut out middleman and use the taxes for Medicare-For-All

I am for Medicare-For-All. With the current system, tax dollars go to a for-profit company, then to the healthcare providers. It makes sense that cutting out the middleman would save money, and we currently have people working on the Affordable Care Act who could transition to administering the newly created load for Medicare. I know this is a complex process, but thankfully there are people who are better versed on the issue than I. I would be a reliable vote for Medicare-For-All.
