Many American families will end up having to pay more in taxes than they would receive in health care benefits. Contrary to claims made by leading Democratic candidates, middle-class earners are those who will be hit the hardest.
Voters will easily support a plan where they think they will get health care for free, but when they realize they will have to pay more in taxes, their support drops dramatically. In many cases, the costs will outweigh the contributions employees are making to health insurance provided by employers.
This strategic blunder by the Democrats could help to drive a massive win for Donald Trump and the Republicans. The Democratic candidates may manage to get the House of Representatives to pass some version of Medicare for All, but they won’t get it through the U.S. Senate. Planning to phase it in over ten years means that if they win the presidency, much of the damage will only show up after their term of office.
Medicare for All unworkable
Dr. Stephen Shapiro – a medical doctor and Nuzuna Zone Fitness Chairman of the Board, says that Medicare for All is unworkable and would bankrupt the country. He sees two major implications – a decrease in technological innovations and more problems with access to quality care. There will be long delays for diagnostic therapies, MRIs, or surgeries in issues of a chronic nature.
