Universal healthcare is NOT the same as Medicare for all

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Medicare for all is a form of Universal Healthcare

Universal healthcare means that no one is excluded, everyone has coverage for their healthcare needs.

Most of the countries you listed do not offer dental, vision, etc. Through the govt. single payer coverage- it is usually provided through the employer or retiree funded extended benefit plans with private insurers (this is the case in Canada, which does offer some coverage for long term care, at least here in BC).

Here in Canada, there is never a charge for a doctor visit or hospital stay (well, one exception that I’ve noticed- podiatrists aren’t covered, so I had to pay $30 for an office visit).

I think the biggest point is, if these 18 countries can offer healthcare to all their residents, then why can’t the US?

It’s not a “pipe dream”...
