Medicaid Enrollment Proves: It's time for Single Payer
I urge you to support HR 676, the Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act. The bill would create a publicly financed, privately delivered healthcare system that uses the already existing Medicare program by expanding and improving it to all U.S. residents, and all residents living in U.S. territories.
Why is this important?
While enrollment in private insurance plans under Obamacare stalls, enrollment in Medicaid is a huge success. Early reports from only 10 states show that nearly half a million people have already enrolled in Medicaid in only 6 weeks.
We all know that there have been difficulties in the start-up of the online exchanges under the Affordable Care Act. But even if there had not been problems, many people are leery about joining another private insurance plan, even if it is subsidized.
It's time for us to go the next step and implement a single payer system that will cover all Americans.
