13367758, What are the other plans?

Last night, Bern presented his MCA strategy

1st year, lower the age from 65 to 55
2nd year, 45
3rd year, 35
Year 4, errybody

The cost is 4% for those earning > $29K

I didn’t hear a plan from Buttigieg, just an idea

He’s going to offer a plan that will force private insurance to offer better coverage in order to compete

Sounded similar to...I know more about healthcare than anyone...we’re going to offer a plan...the best plan...it’s going to be YUGE! LOL

I know what Medicare is, so I know what mca is going to be

I didn’t actually hear a plan from Pete.

What is also being overlooked in the mca plan, in addition to the 4% being less than what we spend on healthcare now

Is that it removes our employers from the equation

Wages should go up, as employers will be saving the money they would have spent covering employees...right...?
