Dr. Marcia Angell, a senior lecturer at Harvard Medical School and former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, wrote an op-ed published in today's Boston Globe: Fix the system with Medicare for all.
Looks like the "medicare for all" framing is catching on, which I couldn't cheer more.
In coming weeks, I'll analyze some of the state plans like those in MA that try to cobble together fixes without fundamentally changing the employer-provided insurance foundation. Obviously, some politicians prefer incremental approaches, but these seem to be particularly inefficient models.
So, the $64,000 (or, um $1.9 trillion) question is:
Besides phasing Medicare in for younger workers, what are other incremental approaches progressives might pursue?
