Question on healthcare [View all]

Are we currently spending double on healthcare compared to 30 or so countries who more or less provide healthcare for all ?

If we do nothing different should we expect the same results ?

If we add medicare for all who want it to existing costs wont our overall costs go up ?

If we go the way of all other countries why would our costs not compare with theirs?

Why do we say we are going to take away peoples coverage who are happy with it...Are they now going to have superoir coverage which cant be cancelled with prescriptions covered ?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
