Medicare for All

Medicare for All is a proposed healthcare system in the United States that aims to provide comprehensive medical coverage to all citizens, eliminating the need for private health insurance. Under this system, the government would fund healthcare services, ensuring that services like doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription drugs are free at the point of use. Proponents argue it can reduce costs and improve access to care, while critics raise concerns about funding, potential tax increases, and the quality of care. Overall, it seeks to create a universal healthcare system that guarantees healthcare as a right for everyone.
