So far, no one with mathematical smarts has come up with a way that the "Medicare for all" scheme could actually work without bankrupting the U.S. government. But that hasn't stopped Democrats. In fact, Paulina Firozi tells us this The Health 202: Progressive Democrats ready to push 'Medicare for all' with new House leadership:
During the 2018 campaign, about two-thirds of the incoming House Democratic class supported a big change to the U.S. health care system in the form of a "Medicare-for-all" program; a Medicare buy-in option for all; or an expansion of Social Security, according to the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Specifically looking at Medicare-for-all, the PCCC says 26 out of 60 incoming Democrats from races that have been called so far supported such a policy. That means they back a system in which all health-care bills are paid for by one entity -- in this case, the federal government.
Statisticians have been telling us for years that Medicare will eventually go broke, and the end time seems to get closer each time one of them gets his/her opinion quoted by the msm. So it's currently a problem in need of a fix. Expanding it certainly won't do that.
