Medicare for All - Past Due ~ February 7, 2021
There has been a lot of talk in the political world recently about the United States health care system - especially regarding its costs. One idea frequently brought up is the expansion of Medicare to all Americans. What exactly is Medicare for All? Is it a good idea, or a bad one? Once you take into account typical medical expenditures, would Medicare for All be cheaper or more expensive for the average citizen? Keep these questions in mind as you answer the prompt.
