I would like to see a bill making current Medicare have no premiums, deductibles or co-pays and to offer the "complete" coverage that M4A is supposed to offer funded entirely by an increase in the FICA payroll tax just to let folks have some idea as to the (equally shared?) cost of a M4A system.
While I'm OK with increasing FICA taxes, I think there should be premiums and out of pocket costs. Preventable care is one thing, constant hypochondriacs mucking up the system is another. I don't want to wait one year for an appointment because everyone is going in for hang nails.
