Medicare for All
Single-payer healthcare proposal
Medicare for All is a proposed U.S. healthcare policy that would replace private insurance with a single government-run system covering all residents.
The phrase became prominent during Bernie Sanders's presidential campaigns and represents the progressive left's approach to universal healthcare: Medicare for All would eliminate deductibles and copays.
Critics argue it would increase taxes and reduce choice, while supporters contend it would lower overall costs and guarantee coverage.
