Medicare for all

If we wanted to end healthcare as we know it all we have to do is outlaw employer based healthcare. As some one who purchased insurance since 2001 I know how poorly the person who has to buy insurance on their own is treated. The current system would be changed one year after people had to buy their own insurance.

suicide by taking away health insurance away from the millions and millions of people who have employer based healthcare? This is a recipe for electoral disaster.
