Then you don't want M4A. Medicare costs seniors deductibles, co-pays, and Medicare has limited coverage. That's why many seniors buy (out of pocket) supplemental private insurance policies to cover more of the costs.

Medicare For All won't be our current Medicare, it will be like Canada's Medicare (which doesn't have any out of pocket costs)

I’m not. I’ve seen the difference first hand between private insurance and Medicare.

People don’t like taxes either.

Lol so you're saying there are no problems with Canada's UHC?

My inlaws who live near the border know about a dozen Canadians that come here for health care.

Whose plan is this?

Zero out of pocket costs means overutilization of healthcare services.

Well, be ready to pay out of pocket for private insurance or travel abroad for medical care. As already noted:
