They won't have a choice, if they want to stay in the medical business in this country.
That may be why they don't want private ins. In Europe they have the Nat'l Plan, usually, and usually ALSO people can buy private ins (rich people...I imagine middle class can't afford to pay taxes AND for private ins.).
It's access to health care that's important. Not access to insurance. It's critical to get the insurance profit out of the medical field, to the extent possible.
Think you are confusing Universal and National Healthcare.
No two countries implement Universal HC the same way and most do not use a National HC plan to do so.
No 3.4 trillion was the estimated cost of Medicare for all.
Federal outlays in the last budget year were 4.1 trillion.
If he said that, that's not what he meant. What I heard was that Med for All est cost was going to be twice the federal budget....3.4 Trillion (that WAS the budget recently).
Don't just talk about the cost in trillions .Talk about where the money is coming from. In 2017 the amount of health care costs were already over 3.5 trillion It was paid from a lot of different pockets.
Everyone needs to participate in the payment of healthcare. Even those on medicare already. Raise the premiums ,give a tax credit to the poor but also take payments for healthcare from transfer payments- welfare and disablilty. Let the states participate by owning the facilities, hospital emergency rooms.
No one is talking about health care access, just who pays who. Yangs 1,000 is sounding stupider every day
