UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President

No, he's right. In most of the other countries, you can still get private health insurance if you want to once you have paid into the national system.

Under MFA, you can't. That is the biggest factor, because you are never going to get a single payer system in this country if your plan is to force everyone to use it.

That's not true. You are more than welcome to get private insurance but you are also insured by medicare. You can currently get supplemental insurance with medicare. And if you want to be doubly covered you can as well. I don't know why you would want to but you can.

Again, I AM FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!
I would fucking vote for it, but I still want to know details...


I work in the industry and these are valid questions to ask if you are making a change as it relates to universal healthcare. These are questions policy makers will want to know to see whether these proposals are Sustainable or not? I think it's valid to know some of the details of what politicans are proposing vs. just saying we want medicare for all

It's like when Biden said he would forgive student loans and he provided basic level details on how he would implement it

No doubt your questions are important. I don't think we will have some proposals until after midterms. This Demsocialist vs dem fight will determine the outcome. I think we as democrats have to make it clear that just supporting aca is not enough. We need a single payer system that the repubs can't break. If they are smart they will start laying the groundwork now. Get the country excited. But the centrist Dems will drag their feet.

You know what they should do? They should get crowd scenes from someplace recently very busy, such as pretty much any gay pride event in the country, and then insert that crowd onto the National Mall.

“This is the most controversial element of this bill. Sanders would make it illegal to sell private health insurance that covers the benefits offered by Medicare for All.”

Maybe I just don't get what the problem is.
Fundamentally the way insurance works you are not covered simultaneously by two companies. You may have two insurers but one is going to be first in line everyone else is supplemental insurance. The insurance that kicks in once the primary insurance is exhausted. If medicare for all will be every citizens Primary insurance can you give me an example why someone would need coverage that is similar to what is being provided by medicare. I can see people wanting additional coverage or out of network coverage but all that would be considered supplemental it's not similar to what's being provided by medicare.
 
That's not quite accurate. Most Medicare for All proposals would make the public plan the primary insurer for medically necessary care, but they don't prohibit people from spending their own money on services that aren't covered. The main point of limiting duplicate private insurance is to avoid creating a two-tier system where wealthier people can bypass the public system for the same covered care.

Whether that's good policy is a legitimate debate, but saying "you can't have private health insurance" oversimplifies the issue. Many countries with universal healthcare still have private insurance, although it's often limited to supplemental benefits, faster access for certain services, or amenities rather than replacing the public system.
