Why are so many on the left confident Medicare 4 all would easily pass a dem congress?

I think that's right. I think that's why the "medicare for all who want it" (buy-in ideas) are more politically feasible (though still a lift themselves).

The buy in would be a no go....or a charade mainly because many people, and dare I say, many on this board who would say they would never go for it, would be some of the first to OPT IN . I would predict that if that were to happen it would gut the private market within 10 years of implementation to the point that medicare for all would de facto become he overall insurance of the land. The only thing available will be specialty private plans for elective surgeries and treatments.

What many people don't understand is that big business will get behind this and cut a deal with the Democrats for assurances that they will not get raped by them for the money saved and is now part of the profits. The government will then make deal with the hospital corporations to guarantee them anywhere between 6-10% profit above the cost reimbursement. Medicare taxes will go up.


It's not a question of if this will happen, it's a question of when and how it's phased in and assuredly the government will underestimate and frick it up. We will then pay more for their frick up....get ready for a lot more foreign born docs if this happens
