4 years in with no plan from his administration, just orders dismantling the ACA, causing 7 million more uninsured, what reform do you want to see in the health care system?

What’s the biggest move that needs to be made?

Basic affordable insurance is the biggest thing. It's a huge obstacle for those working multiple part time jobs and small business owners. I said recently in another post, it's one of the biggest obstacles for people looking to start a business.

It wouldn't drive out insurance for profit as it exists today. Employers could still offer plans to supplement and expand the basic coverage.

Drug price regulations also need to be overhauled. I'm ok with patent laws, but price gouging needs to be addressed (capped).
