but Medicare for people that want it and those that don't can stay private probably has to be stage 3. That way people aren't terrified of losing their insurance to something worse. They can see the other isn't a boogyman and over the years people wean off of private and onto Medicare. Then stage 4 would be medicare for all.

- Things have to go a step at a time. Big change is really hard. I always said about the ACA that the most important thing was that it exist. -- (edited) - pmb Feb 17, 14:52
