Medicare-for-all offers a clear vision for health care. Centrists want to water it down. - Vox
Medicare-for-all offers a clear vision for health care. Centrists want to water it down. - Vox
"We need a true single-payer system, not a patchwork. Unlike our current fragmented mess of a health care system, Medicare-for-all would ensure that Americans no longer have their health outcomes determined by the free market’s whims.
It would expand Medicare to everyone as a single, public program and prohibit private insurers from offering competing services, effectively abolishing the private health insurance industry altogether and democratizing approximately one-sixth of the US economy.
Health insurance CEOs currently make an average of over $20 million per year by profiting off the sick; Medicare-for-all will redirect the money that currently goes to them toward its intended purpose: providing health care.
With all Americans on the same program, every doctor and hospital will be in-network, giving patients complete freedom to choose from whom and from where they receive care. Unlike tiered systems in which the wealthy are able to purchase a higher standard of care — the kind that CAP and United States of Care advocate for — Medicare-for-all will extend high-quality care to everyone.

What is Medicare-for-all? The single-payer debate, explained. - Vox
What is Medicare-for-all? The single-payer debate, explained. - Vox
Words matter. How we frame it matters. Simplicity in public solicitation is necessary.
I want freedom of choice of provider. I want my job not to be determined by health insurance coverage. I want insurance companies to NOT be considered part of our healthcare provider system; they do NOT provide care and they should not be allowed to own actual providers. I believe how my health care is provided should NOT be driven by the profit motive. I believe equal access to health care needs to be a right, NOT a privilege.
