How Does Andrew Yang's Healthcare Proposal Stack Up?



Medicare For All is most likely too extreme to get passed right away, considering the medical industry is one of the largest industries in the U.S. economy right now. Proposing to de-privatize the whole insurance industry makes the candidate look good for proposing it, but really it's a safe way to appear to be challenging the system, cause it wont actually go through at this point.

We tend to want quick McDonald's fixes.. but those never work.. more holistic but maybe more gradual approaches like Yang's current proposal has a significantly better chance. And from what I've read and considered so far about his updated take is sounding already like a VAST improvement, speaking as someone with chronic pain and experience with the existing healthcare system.

To me it doesn't matter if it's called Medicare for All, or what, it's whether the proposal stands on it's own merits, and he addresses the major issues we currently face with the healthcare system. Out of control prescription/medication prices, difficulty of access to care/medicines, insurance not covering all preventative services, treatment-based care instead of prevention based, the excessive lobbying that dictates what medicines are pushed, like opiates, and even influences/controls what is learnt in medical schools where focus is placed deliberately on prescribing medications versus understanding real solutions.. and on top of addressing all these issues head on, add to this the $1000 Freedom Dividend.
