Medicare for all

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

By George Bohmfalk, M.D.
Dallas Morning News, Letters, January 17, 2019

Re: “Our painful reality — We uninsured Texans must cobble together health care; no wonder we end up in the ER,” by Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa, Sunday Points.

Herndon-De La Rosa says she doesn’t have a solution to our very broken system. I do: improved Medicare for all. One registration (not even application, as everyone will be accepted) for life. Zero deductible. No anxiety about rate changes. No cobbling. It’s simple, sensible and proudly American. Everyone wins, except the manipulative insurance companies.

(I practiced neurosurgery and lived in Texarkana for 30 years.)
