Bernie Sanders' proposed Medicare for All provides "everyone in America with comprehensive health care coverage, free at the point of service." "No networks, no premiums, no deductibles, no copays, no surprise bills."
Why does BS want government-paid, taxpayer-funded comprehensive health care coverage, free at the point of service for megamillionaires and billionaires? Supposedly the legislation allows for private contracts between health care providers and individuals for services for which the provider will not seek reimbursement from the government. In such cases the healthcare providers would have to operate outside the universal Medicare system, with patients who could afford to pay out of pocket. So people such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Jeff Bezos could do so. Still, I believe the question warrants repeating. Why does BS want government-paid, taxpayer-funded comprehensive health care coverage, free at the point of service for megamillionaires and billionaires?
Does he believe voters are too stupid to grasp this consequence of his proposal?
