Gail, I think you forgot to mention the number 1 reason we don't want Medicare for all. We do not want the government anywhere near our healthcare. Just look at the VA and other programs run by our government, they do a terrible job.
The VA Hospital kept my Father alive...
And Medicare keeps many alive ...
