Bernie's Battle for Affordable Care
  • 11 months ago
Senator Bernie Sanders is renewing a push for Medicare for All, a single-payer healthcare system, as a solution to the high cost of healthcare in the United States. Sanders, along with Democratic Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell, plans to reintroduce the Medicare for All Act of 2023 in both the House and the Senate. Cost is a major challenge to implementing Medicare for All, with estimates ranging from $30 trillion to $38.8 trillion over ten years. Critics argue that the government's current level of spending, coupled with concerns about federal deficits and indebtedness, make it unlikely to finance such a program.
