We need to expand the Medicare system to include all Americans, regardless of whether one is offered coverage by a State or employer. The Medicare system is effective in providing comprehensive health coverage and services to Americans, albeit the system is in need of payer reform to reduce the fraudulent billing. The expansion of Medicare will impact the health insurance industry and this is the correct change for progress as health as a human right and not a commodity. The greatness of this nation is that it changes for the good of its citizens. That is when an industry becomes ineffective or obsolete, we eliminate or significantly reduce it, so that the greater good can prevail. We cannot be beholden to billion dollar companies just because they exist. We need to put the good of the people above the good of corporations. We need a comprehensive public health care coverage option, and the easiest option would be to expand Medicare to all citizens.
