No one is turning their back on capitalism THAT WORKS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Ask any hospital about the idea of a government program that will provide health insurance for the under or uninsured and there will be an overwhelming agreement with this program. The states that accepted the ACA as part of it's state government structure have better health care for their people than states that have rejected it. The ACA was rejected for political reasons. It simply isn't right.
...Medicaid eligibility for adults (click here) in states that did not expand their programs is quite limited: the median income limit for parents in these states is just 43% of poverty, or an annual income of $8,935 a year for a family of three in 2018, and in nearly all states not expanding, childless adults remain ineligible.3 Further, because the ACA envisioned low-income people receiving coverage through Medicaid, it does not provide financial assistance to people below poverty for other coverage options. As a result, in states that do not expand Medicaid, many adults fall into a “coverage gap” of having incomes above Medicaid eligibility limits but below the lower limit for Marketplace premium tax credits (Figure 1)....
Medicare for All (click here) is a universal health care plan developed by Senator Bernie Sanders. It builds on the successes of Medicare and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduced by former President Barack Obama to help more Americans access health care.
According to Bernie Sanders’ plans, 29 million Americans don’t have health insurance under the ACA. Millions more are underinsured with policies that have high copayments and deductibles. Medicare for All looks to solve these problems.
Today, healthcare protection is often linked to employment. The single-payer Medicare for All system would sever this link to ensure that unemployed Americans, stay-at-home parents, new business owners, and other people not currently covered can receive affordable medical care.
It would also bring America’s health care system in line with those of other industrialized nations that offer universal health care to citizens.
Medicare for All is a universal health care system benefitting patients and healthcare providers. Under the scheme, Americans would receive necessary medical treatment regardless of their age, earnings, or socioeconomic status. Health care professionals would receive better training under the system, and healthcare overheads and administrative costs would be reduced.
