I have Medicare and Tricare-for-Life from the military and that's all I need. Both are great socialistic medical programs!

I favor Medicare-for-All. Instead of giving the medical insurance companies money employers would provide their share of healthcare costs, the amount the would normally pay to insurance companies, to Medicare. Individuals would be required to contribute to Medicare through their taxes based on their gross income. The reason for using gross income rather than adjusted income is to help prevent the rich from using tax deductions to pay less in Medicare taxes.

It might sound simplistic, but with some tweaks, it could work.
