The REAL Key To Selling Medicare for All
EVERYONE will be covered (phased in over time, starting with minors and 55+). Healthcare IS A RIGHT.
No Deductibles. No Co-pays.
From the bill:
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall ensure that no cost-sharing, including deductibles, coinsurance, copay- ments, or similar charges, be imposed on an individual for any benefits provided under this Act, except as described in subsection (b).
Dental and Vision are part of Healthcare and are covered.
From the bill:
SEC. 1013. COVERAGE OF DENTAL AND VISION SERVICES AND HEARING AIDS AND EXAMINATIONS
UNDER MEDICARE PART B.
Costs would go DOWN:
"The single-payer, government-run system has the potential to control prices much better than our current system," said Larry Levitt, a senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation. With a simpler system would come lower administrative costs, making health care much more efficient, for example; and the government would negotiate drug prices, bringing health care costs down, as well as the price per service.
It can be paid for by taxing employers and the wealthy.
a 7.5 percent payroll tax on employers, a 4 percent individual income tax and an array of taxes on wealthier Americans, as well as corporations. In addition, Sanders' plan says the end of big health insurance-related tax expenditures, like employers' ability to deduct insurance premiums, would save trillions of dollars.
