The cost of freedom
To the Democrats:

Socially, one-size-fits-all programs from other countries (like Canada, where I’m from) won’t fly with the American independent-thinker.
Independent-thinkers vote, and they don’t want to be told what to do.
Decide who you think is falling through the cracks of the current model, and expand funding just for those folks.

To the Republicans:

Talk about Medicare for All as a one-size-fits-all approach to health care. The American independent-thinker doesn’t want that.
Be honest that there’s not a country in the world that has a single-payer system that gives its people health care with anything close to the control we have here in America.
Design a health care approach that provides Americans a safety net for those in need, but all others will have the freedom to choose their benefits. Be direct about the fact that more choices and options will cost more, but that they will be free to choose.

Accountability in question
Who is accountable for deciding what care and procedures are approved? When the financials are finite, sacrifices will need to be made. Are you willing to be the one who makes that sacrifice?
