"Medicare for All promises a system that is fairer, more efficient, and vastly less expensive than America's bloated, monopolized, over-priced and under-performing private health insurance system."

    It’s far worse than that. I work in healthcare and literally just talked with a patient who was charged more at a walk-in clinic with insurance than they would have paid without.

    Their visit would have cost them $250 without, they were billed $300 and insurance paid for another $150 on top of that. And it’s not like they pay nothing to have insurance in the first place.

    The system is fraudulent from the ground up.
