Population growth would not surge, but demand for healthcare would. If the Veterans Administration hospitals and local community hospitals cannot adequately service the health needs of their respective communities quickly, that indicates to me more infrastructure and medical personnel have to be created. Doing this would be is a good thing. This infrastructure should be rolled out with deliberate thought rather than by the stroke of a pen.
Some people want to keep their employer insurance due to quality and service. They don't want to see their employer cancel it to save money once Medicare for all is in play.
When healthcare in Great Britain or Sweeden is mention as a solution, it looks and sounds good on paper, but the US has over 327-million people versus Great Britain's 67-million and Sweden's 11-million population.
From Wikipedia" "...The Swedish health care system is mainly government-funded, universal for all citizens and decentralized, although private health care also exists. A shortage of medical personnel is a major problem. The health care system in Sweden is financed primarily through taxes levied by county councils and municipalities." I can't imagine what the shortages of doctors and nurses in the US would be. YMMV.
