Thanks. I don’t do well with tla’s.

Three letter acronyms.

Medicare is already available to anyone who worked
for a living.

Medicare For All.

The only way Medicare works is by cost shifting to non-Medicare patients. I've seen some of the allowed billing rates on Medicare and there is no way a garage could survive on those rates for mechanics repairing a car, much less working on people with expensive equipment. One I think of is $8 for an X-ray. You couldn't get a mechanic to roll in a piece of expensive diagnostic equipment and scan your car with it and then have the senior mechanic evaluate the result for $8. That only works if they charge non-Medicare patients $500 for the same X-ray.

No one left to shift the costs to and the whole house of cards falls apart.
