@Lash,

Medicare For All is different from the system that they have in the UK.
It is questionable whether the taxes to fund either system would be less than insurance premiums cost.
Also, both Medicare For All and a UK-style system are capable of denying sound medical care. Doing away with private insurance will not solve any problems in this respect.
There have even been cases where the UK medical system not only denied medical care, but actively blocked people from going to another country to receive treatment.
I would not like to see leftists in America be allowed to start denying people treatment and then forcing them to stay here to die instead of traveling to other countries for treatment.
