Medicare for all: Why not?

6. In short-trust and vagueness.

I have health care that works for me. It's far from perfect, but it does what I need it to do. My mother had Medicare with a supplemental. It covered almost everything but the cost of the supplemental was high. But without the supplement she would have paid a fortune for expensive treatments.

Bernie's Medicare for all plan is far more generous than current Medicare in that it covers everything Medicare does with no premiums or copays , plus longterm care plus things I don't even want like dental and vision.

I don't trust that Bernie's plan is actually feasible and I think it will raise my taxes higher than my current premiums, plus lead to shortages unacceptable to most Americans.

There are other versions of Medicare 4 All that might make more sense, but they don't seem so fleshed out, so vague.

So I'm for a public option. The government can create something better than what I have now for less money? Let them prove it first.
