John Russell Democrat for Congress District 5 Florida Hernando County Chamber of Commerce Forum

John Russell Democratic Candidate for U.S. House District 5 Florida addresses the concerns of Hernando County and Nature Coast voters. John provides details about his plan for a National Single Payer Health Care Plan which would provide ALL Americans the option of continuing to carry their private insurance or participating in an improved Medicare for ALL Plan which would provide access to affordable quality health care for all Americans. My plan would provide a substantial cost savings for consumers over private insurance alternatives, while also solving the Medicare funding crisis by adding millions of younger Americans to the Medicare rolls who are healthy and not in need of care, providing these new Medicare enrollees access to quality affordable and comprehensive care.

This American Single Payer Health Plan would be funded by monthly payments by individuals indexed based on income with a maximum cap on cost so that Warren Buffett would pay no more than Donald Trump for example. The 40% inefficiency/waste that is associated with the private insurance industry would be eliminated over time as the private insurance model withered away, succumbing to the more cost-efficient National Health Care Plan where caring for patients would take precedence over corporate profitability.
