Ocasio-Cortez calls question about how to pay for Medicare for all ‘puzzling’

I have already shown you facts. You just don't want to believe the truth.

Most americans have health insurance. That insurance is either public.. medicare, Medicaid or VA..

OR its private insurance.

If they have insurance.. they have coverage for therapy, home health, mental health services, pharmacy, etc.

The fact is this.. for single payer countries.. most of those single payer countries do NOT have as comprehensive a coverage in their basic single payer.. as the average American does.

I encourage you to go check. Its one way in which these single payer countries get a portion of their savings. Canadian government single payer does not for example cover medicines out side the hospital. home health, or outpatient therapies.

So.. for most people in America.. going to a single payer system like in other countries.. will give them a DECREASE in insurance coverage, not an increase.

Again.. I strongly suggest you do some research first before claiming I am wrong. About the only country off the top of my head whose single payer is as good as our insurance here.. is perhaps Britain.. and they do that by nationalizing most of their system.
