Medicare For Who?
< < Go Back
What to Know: President Trump’s op-ed in USA Today explaining the pitfalls of Medicare-for-All schemes is getting lots of attention.
“The Democrats’ plan means that after a life of hard work and sacrifice, seniors would no longer be able to depend on the benefits they were promised,” President Trump writes. “By eliminating Medicare as a program for seniors, and outlawing the ability of Americans to enroll in private and employer-based plans, the Democratic plan would inevitably lead to the massive rationing of health care. Doctors and hospitals would be put out of business. Seniors would lose access to their favorite doctors. There would be long wait lines for appointments and procedures. Previously covered care would effectively be denied.”
The TPPF Take:Medicare-for-All polls well, until Americans learn the specifics of the various plans.
“Medicare-for-All will either deny us the care we need or land our nation in bankruptcy court,” says TPPF’s Dr. Deane Waldman. “Most people thought the cost of Obamacare, $1.34 trillion, was excessive, but that’s peanuts compared to the $18 trillion price tag Medicare-for-All.”
