To each, the healthcare they need, from each , an amount they can afford to pay
Have taxpayers guarantee, at Medicare rates, any amount a patient can’t afford. Allow the patient to repay on a means tested basis. No insurance premiums. No copay’s or coinsurance.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
