Rep. Pramila Jayapal for NBCNewsTHINK: Who wants Medicare for All? People who value Americans' health over corporate profits.
All of that while it would guarantee every American comprehensive health coverage — for medical, dental, vision, mental health, prescription drugs and long-term care — with no copays, private insurance premiums or deductibles.
Medicare for All will give Americans more choice than ever before, with access to all doctors and providers in the country rather than just the ones who agreed to any given insurance company’s reimbursement rates. It would provide one guaranteed plan so that you’re always covered, regardless of whether you switch employers, want to start a small business or need to stay home to take care of yourself or a loved one.
No other proposal comes close to offering these benefits or choice. Other bills maintain a limited set of provisions and retain the for-private insurance companies that narrow health care provider networks and restrict access to care. And other plans that leave the private, for-profit insurance companies in place do not tackle the overall costs of the system. Maintaining a public option will allow private insurance companies to continue to game the system, cherry picking healthy people, dropping those with high medical needs and pushing them into the government plan.
In fact, by preserving the inefficiencies of our current system and adding 30 more million Americans to this broken system, a public option will likely lead to higher overall health care spending.
