Democrat Ben Jealous will pitch his plan for a state-based universal health care program next Wednesday during a Baltimore rally with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has pushed a similar “Medicare for all” plan in Congress.
Jealous, the former head of the NAACP who is running for governor, has promised a Maryland plan that would provide health insurance to every state resident.
His campaign did not provide details Monday on how the plan would work or how to pay for it.
The Jealous campaign said the plan for universal health care will build on Maryland’s all-payer system, which sets universal rates for hospital services statewide. Maryland is the only state in the country with such an all-payer system of uniform, regulated hospital services.
Sanders’ “Medicare for all” plan is modeled on Canada’s single-payer national health care system.

Yeah...and that works so damned good, right?
Who is gonna pay for it, you damned ignorant socialist son of a bitch?
Bernie Sanders, Ben Jealous to hold Medicare-for-all rally in Baltimore
Gimme, gimme, gimme. I think there is such a plan in Cuba and Russia. One way plane fare isn’t too much.
Who is that White guy to Bernie’s left?
Generous of them to raise money from their own pockets to pay for it.
That white guy is the former head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Rhetorical question :-)
They should do it. And while they are at it, make sure only people in Maryland fund it. No federal funding.
Let it run for a few years and then come back and tell us how successful it was.
Idiots. Medicare is going bankrupt and the socialists doubledown.
What is it about these complete morons? Russia, China, Venezuela, Europe with its waning socialism?
They insist that every time it implodes, it was not done just right. Next time is the charm and that time leads to disaster.
Europe is finding out that socialism has a Maggie Thatcher clause.
If you like your health plan, we will confiscate that and give you something worth waiting months (or longer) for appointments, and that controls costs by controlling that expensively high number of senior citizens.
“His campaign did not provide details Monday on how the plan would work or how to pay for it. “
well, of course not!
every time someone provides “details”, i.e., costs and new taxation requirements, the “plan” goes nowhere. To wit: Vermont and Colorado.
He's almost as white as Shaun King.
Why does that matter? It feels goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
I used to live across the street from a couple from Canada, 1966 to 1993. Her sister still lived in Canada.
The sister regularly came to California to get medical care. The wait in Canada was too long & too sketchy.
I used to feel really bad that I had no grandchildren, with probably no great chance of having any either, but now, with the way things are going with these stupid millennials screwing up the future, I am beginning to feel a bit relieved that I don’t. It still hurts, though.
Used to work with several Canucks who still lived in Canada. They had all their health and dental care done here. They all said Canadian health care was “too iffy”. Their exact words.
