Medicare for all

Charlie Baker thinks this is a bad idea:

I heard this idea promoted at a luncheon I was at last week “” that the best way to fix health care in the U.S. would be to move to a “Medicare For All” system. Needless to say, I find this odd “” since I think many of the things people hate most about our existing system “” too procedure driven, doesn’t support primary care and prevention, favors technology over face-to-face interaction, doesn’t support multi-disciplinary approaches to care delivery, etc. “” derive from the rules of the game set up and enforced by”¦Medicare!!! Yikes!
