Medicare for all doesn't eliminate other payers, and is more similar to the European system than what we have now.

- dragonwriter 7y ago> Medicare for all doesn't eliminate other payers The Sanders bill does eliminate most other payers (except for the VA). Other candidates with plans (or vague descriptions of plans) borrowing the name sometimes do, and sometimes do not, and sometimes are not entirely clear (or consistent over time) as to which category they fall into.
- rayiner 7y agoThere is no "European system." Many European countries don't have a single payer, or even a "public option." The Netherlands has something quite close to ACA, for example. Germany has non-profit, but numerous, insurance companies.
