Medicare for All would be improvement over for-profit care

I agree with Beth Chance’s recent letter to the editor that Medicare for All, a national health insurance, would do much to streamline our medical system, same copays, same deductibles, no tricky networks with surprise billing, no costly silly open enrollment every year, not tied to employment. With 900 for-profit health insurance companies and their expertise using lobbyists and campaign donations it is a system our representatives do not want changed or even upset. Health insurance and their $23 billion in profits are here to stay.
