At best, "Medicare for All" is more than 5 years away. But did you know that 2 votes could save over $300B a year and create universal healthcare NOW? 1. Repeal both ICE funding and safety net cuts in the OBBBA 2. Expand direct payments to providers. HC4ALL! -> drive.google.com/file/d/1rPiT...

That is, "Medicare for All" is only a "dream" because it is too far in the future AND has too many implementation details. "Direct pay" is realistic, immediate, and a 1st step towards HC4ALL for $1T per year less than now Data driven, model-based, actuarially sound Using existing mechanisms!
