Medicare for All Costs Too Much, Pelosi Adviser Assures Health Insurance Executives

24. Or, better yet, make every employer pay for every employee

And raise taxes in a progressive for the government under the ACA to provide insurance for those who are self employed or unemployable.

The one fact never heard from Medicare for all proponents is how much money will have to be collected by the federal government to pay for it. We read tons of articles about how much it will save. Just my employer...they provide good healthcare for over 70,000 people here in Florida. At around 5k per person. Even if we reduce cost by 30-40%, what mechanism is going to provide that level of funding to the federal government? And that is just one company.

I say use the ACA to get a system like France.

But we all need to realize that in the end our goal is the same, affordable Universal Healthcare as a right. Not a privilege. When we debate the method of achieving that we are debating among allies, not enemies.

I get concerned with all the post I am seeing alluding to the fact that real democrats support Medicare for all. And if you don’t you somehow aren’t a good democrat. Especially since up till now Medicare for all has been more a rallying cry than a spelled out policy.
