"Critics say it would cost trillions and Medicare For All Won’t Work\nSenator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) focused on healthcare insurance as a key plank in his 2016 platform as a candidate in the Presidential primary. His plan, called Medicare for All would replace all existing consumer and employer-based coverage.\nSanders’ concept is based on the present Medicare model but would have no co-pays and no deductibles. The government would have the power to deal with drug makers, so the cost of prescriptions would go down. Administrative costs would also decrease with this single-payer system.\nCoverage would also include dental, vision, and hearing.\nMedicare for All would add close to 30 million people who are not insured now to the rolls. Existing insurance companies would be reduced to a minor role in the system.\nThe study estimates the cost of trillions\nMercatus Center, a libertarian policy center at George Mason University of Virginia, recently estimated the cost of Sanders’ plan. The study, headed by Charles Blahous, predicts that additional spending to fund the plan would amount to $32.6 trillion over the first decade.\n."
