Wouldn't this be the simplest fix?

Isn't medicare administrative expenses pretty minimal? The system is already in place, it would just be expanding it.

Does the highest medical costs in your lifetime happen as you get older? Which already applies as a cost to the current medicare system?

Couldn't this have been paid for by what we spent in Iraq many times over?

3. European governments are held accountable by their citizens.

America is pay-for-play and right now the deep pockets are corporations. Our government serves corporate interests.
