Abstract
In the wake of the election of Donald Trump, I resigned from my research work. I decided to become politically involved and since I am a health care professional, in June 2018, I started a bipartisan political consulting firm, Ask Nurses and Doctors (AND; http://www.asknursesdoctors.com). This start-up is focused on electing candidates or incumbents committed to health care reform. There are 2 approaches to universal coverage-either the Affordable Care Act or Medicare for All. To implement either approach, there are 10 lessons from my 30 years of research that may be useful to enact universal coverage.
