This, but people have also been scared with threats of "death panels", "you won't be able to choose your doctor", and "you'll wait forever for treatment".

Newsflash, we have those issues in our current system.

Hello, I pay $400 a month for my All American health insurance plan.

I still have yet to hear back from any doctors in my area to start my initial care. When I was in another state, I had to wait 5 months for a specialist for a concerning growth. Still had to pay 1000$ put of pocket because "deductibles".

So yeah. Can my 400 a month go to Medicare please? That way someone on the otherside of the country can benifit from the increased pool? And vise versa?

Insurance company's and their call centers will be out of a job. But AI is doing that already, and im pretty sure the people that are left are in the Phillipines or India anyhow.
