Medicare for All is a single, national health insurance program that would cover everyone who lives in the United States. Medicare for All would cover medical bills completely, with no burden on the patient.

Health care is a human right, and many supporters of Medicare for All believe that getting more people into the Medicare system can help rein in growing costs in the US health care system. The biggest benefit to Medicare for all is that the government covers the expense for healthcare while ensuring doctors provide reasonably affordable quality care. Medicare for all would replace the Affordable Care Act and provide everyone with healthcare. A single-payer, the universal healthcare system will allow you to see any doctor or hospital you want, no more networks and no more out of network fees. With one non-profit agency, accountable to Americans, we can have simple coverage with minimal costs. In addition to better coverage, the efficiency will be maximized. With only one public agency run by regional boards, there will be higher job satisfaction for doctors. Every American would receive an insurance card showing they are covered under Medicare for All. You’d simply show this card whenever you need medical products or services. With Medicare for All, you’d never have to worry about out of pocket healthcare expenses again. Under Medicare for All, everyone has health insurance and has access to necessary services - including doctors, hospitals, long-term care, prescription drugs, dentists and vision care. Providing all citizens the right to health care is good for economic productivity. When people have access to health care, they live healthier lives and miss work less, allowing them to contribute more to the economy. Proponents of the right to health care say that no one in one of the richest nations on earth should go without health care. They argue that a right to health care would stop medical bankruptcies, improve public health, reduce overall health care spending, help small businesses, and that health care should be an essential government service.
