But the Vermont independent senator's "Medicare for All" plan differs substantially from the insurance systems that exist up north and across the pond. Canadians and most European countries have private insurance industries alongside their government programs.
However, the universal program, known as Canadian Medicare, doesn't cover outpatient prescription drugs, rehabilitation, home care, dental benefits, vision care and some other services. Some two-thirds of Canadians are covered by private plans, often through their employers, to cover these treatments. The insurers are mostly for profit.England, meanwhile, has the very comprehensive National Health Service, paid for by taxes.
Time and time again the main problem w pieces like this trying to say 'oh other countries have private insurance' is that it doesn't mention how HIGHLY regulated these private insurance are that it's nothing like our private insurance system
The greatest Nation on Earth can’t or won’t provide Medical Care to it’s citizens. Incapable of overcoming the Insurance lobby they search for deficiencies in the Medical plans of countries with a much longer life expectancy. America then falls farther behind to world with Trump.
gov't competition is the only way
yes in Germany and allover Europe they have public option also Private insurance options
Now, I am a layman, middle class man with a general education at best. So pardon my ignorance, but; 'Does he not understand that there is a long-standing framework behind those models that would be impossible for us to just suddenly change to?'
