I think ending coverage for drugs the second you leave a hospital is stupid, and it keeps people who need expensive prescription drugs tied to their employer. The reality is most of us are already paying for drug coverage anyways through private middlemen and having universal single payer coverage should be the obvious solution.

The hard part will be figuring out how to pay for it and how to sell it to voters.

Take the money corporations currently pay for drugs benefits and funnel them into the public program.
