Sure you want Medicare for all ?

Take that BO !

No. Medicare is a bad starting point as its the source of the problem.

The conventional health service is the problem, too. Doctors are guilty of looting as the opioid epidemic has made perfectly clear. These were not Medicare doctors who set up pill mills to make bigger bucks. Medicare was looted for mega millions by a Florida insurance company. They were fined mega millions for it. Their chief exec was rewarded with winning the governorship and is now senator thief.
There is nothing special about Medicare fraud. It is actually better than the rest of healthcare.

Commercial carriers do a far better job of managing fraud because they have to. Medicare doesnt have to so they dont.

Commercial carriers? You mean insurance companies? They add nothing but cost and complications. Their prices and copays go up well past inflation again and again. They sit between you and your medical procedures, fighting against the customer's health interests to make more profits. They are a huge waste and should be eliminated.
