Medicare for everyone

Sat., April 15, 2017

The president can fix our health care problem. Just put us all on Medicare and the problem would be over. The IRS knows who and where we are because it’s all in the tax rolls.

It’s just like car insurance, you have to have it. It would also help millions of small businesses by taking a load off the bottom line. We the people would have better health and the country would save billions of dollars and have much better health outcomes. Instead of being 34th in the world, we might make to the top 10. Then the president would be held in very high esteem by the working people of this country, and he would be fulfilling one of your election promises.
