I don't see the relevance. There's no reason Medigap coverage couldn't either continue to exist, or be subsumed into Medicare under M4A.

- s1artibartfast 5y agoI offered a possible explanation to the question that puzzled you. That is the relevance. The simple and plausible answer is that 94% of Medicare recipients report being very satisfied or satisfied with the quality of their "medical care" but most would not want to rely on medicare exclusively and have their private insurance abolished. What is really bizarre is that 67% of Medicare-for-all supporters think they would be able to keep their current health insurance under Medicare-for-all! Other related facts: 60% of Americans would oppose a national Medicare-for-all plan if it require most Americans to pay more in taxes Roughly half of Americans would oppose medicare-for-all if told it will increase the taxes that you personally pay, but decrease your overall costs for health care PDF: https://www.kff.org/slideshow/public-opinion-on-single-payer-national-health-plans-and-expanding-access-to-medicare-coverage/ https://www.kff.org/slideshow/public-opinion-on-single-payer...
