For years, Progressives have been pushing the idea of Medicare for All. On face value, it sounds like a great idea. That’s probably why polls frequently identified a solid majority of Americans supporting the idea of expanding Medicare to the entire population. But when they learned they would have to give up their private or employer-based insurance, support for Medicare for All dropped to around 30 percent.
There could have been a lot of reasons, but most likely these people figured their existing health plan provided better coverage than Medicare.
I think most progressives thought that once Bernie and AOC pass Medicare for All, we’d have an awesome health care system run by people dedicated to making it work.
But what would have happened if Biden passed Medicare for All in 2021 now that Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to the government? Just today, the Washington Post ran this headline:
Long waits, waves of calls, website crashes: Social Security is breaking down
A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency that runs the program into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.
Ask yourself this question. If you had cancer today, do you think you would live longer if you had employer-based health insurance or Elon’s Medicare for All?
