Vote Bernie and let's have medicare for all. We've seen the republican plan which is 'don't' get sick' and if you get sick then 'die quickly'. link below
Medicare only pays about 2/3 of the bill. Currently, doctors and facilities make up those losses on private insurance. So get rid of private insurance, Medicare for all would close up more hospitals than we ever seen before, because there won't be anyplace to recoup those government losses.
Medicare for All would still require Premiums governed by your income just like what I am under right now. I pay 135 bucks a month premiums for Part B. I have another plan that pays the rest. And a supplimental Plan doesn't cost any 1500 bucks a month either. It shouldn't. But unless you have a HUGE bill, both should cover most or all costs. I just went in for a double catarac surgery and paid zero. That's a 6000 buck procedure.
So let's not discount Medicare for all and say it's free. It's not free. We ALL pay for it and then we pay for supplemental insurance from insurance companies. And who decides how to use it? Us and the Doctors, not the Government.
