Medicare for All

The DSA types want to improve people's lives but their implementation and financial strategies simply don't work. Rather than trying to solve the issue, I'm going to propose an approach toward solving the issue.

The way to achieve Medicare for All is to put together a committee of experts and lawmakers to actually study the issues and come up with a recommendation. What are the issues?

(1) Finances - How much is MFA going to cost and how is it to be paid for? There are lots of financing options, we just need to pick the best ones.

(2) Administration - How is the program going to be administered and managed?

(3) Adequacy of Medical Infrastructure - MFA may lead to a massive increase in the demand for medical services. If so, then what's the plan for increasing our medical infrastructure?

(4) Scaling to 350 million people - Canada has 41 million people. The UK has 69 million people and Germany has 83 million people. Are there any issues in scaling a national health program to a nation of 350 million people that need to be addressed?
