Talking Points for Medicare 4 All from a Public Health Physician

10. What is also overlooked is the mass pschologically healing effect this will have on the nation

Maybe Marianne Williamson should address this.

But in all sincerity, simply having EVERYONE covered, from cradle to grave, no matter your employment status, moving to another job, how costly an operation is etc...can affect a lot of ills in society that stem from the stress of things like fretting about if something will be covered. or staying at a bad abusive job just for the medical benefits, living with pain because you don't think you can afford going to a doctor.

In Canada here, one thing that stands out to me reading American's terminology on the topic is that we do not even use the word "insurance" here. Certainly never the term "pre-existing conditions". Medical care is simply accepted as a right. When we get sick, we go to our GP, who then determines if we need specialists care etc...

I have enough to worry about in this fast life, I can't imagine what its like for ones medical care to be so draconian, and in the whims of private insurers whos goal it is is to deny you. And the access to medical services and doctors so separate from my everyday natural human experience, and human right.
