Bigger threat to Florida than a Category 5 Hurricane

Agreed, Medicare for all is an unsustainable model, but so is what we have today. What I would get behind is some kind of hybrid system, where people and families below a certain income level are granted access to Medicare, and those above that level are given vouchers based upon family size, age and income to use on the open market. You'd need some kind of controls in there to make sure people aren't being gouged, like what we saw immediately happen with Obamacare, but a hybridized voucher system would, imo, be the fairest and best long-term model. If you tie the vouchers to % of a covered plan's premium, you go a long way towards making it hard for an insurance company to screw citizens over.
