Realistic Healthcare- Medicare for all doesn't cut it

10. You may pay a little more for a few years

but once the kinks get worked out, it will be less. The term Medicare for all is just a 'symbol'. The vast majority of people know what Medicare is, and is okay with it. Less people know about Single Payer Health care or understand it, so it will be a harder sell. That is what it is all about. I'm pretty sure that health care won't be means tested, although I'm sure there will be companies that will want people to buy 'premium' health insurance, so that they don't have to mingle with the unwashed masses.

All they would have to do to get the ball rolling is to offer a single payer option, in all the health insurance options available now. I don't know if you know that even Medicaid is now serviced by insurance companies. It is a nightmare to go through all the stuff they send you at 65.
