Republicans love to shoot down the idea of Medicare For All because it takes away the freedom of consumers to shop around and choose the health insurance that best fits their needs. Let’s ignore for the moment that M4A would suit just about everyone’s needs better than just about any private plan available at less cost. Instead, let’s look at how much Americans value the freedom to shop around.
Short answer: Not at all. In fact, they pretty much hate it.
40% of Americans Would Rather Clean Up Dog Poop Than Shop For Health Insurance
The worst healthcare system in the world.
Most Americans get their insurance from their employer.
Not even one employee can shop for insurance that way. The employer does the shopping. The employee is offered a policy but not their choice of policies. They take what the employer offers or they don't get insurance.
This idea of shopping for insurance is ridiculous.
Most Americans don't have that right. The employer does.
