When @TulsiGabbard releases a specifics showing how #MedicareForAll ( (with our govt able to negotiate drug prices, etc) will exist while current private insurance industry simultaneously exists, I'd be happy to. Until then, you folks have Tulsi goggles on https://twitter.com/QuinnPetersen2/status/1179460497231335426 …

Bernie’s version of M4A allows healthcare providers not participating in M4A to contract with individual patients even on duplicative items and pay for it with private insurance. The patients are still enrolled in M4A, so it’s a private option:

“The Sanders Medicare-for-all bill would permit private contracting between health care providers who do not participate in the universal Medicare program and patients, and allow private insurance to cover these costs.”https://www.kff.org/health-reform/issue-brief/whats-the-role-of-private-health-insurance-today-and-under-medicare-for-all-and-other-public-option-proposals/ …

What you're describing from the bill is not having an expansive private health insurance industry (or as the candidates I mentioned state "option").

Again, I’m not sure where you’re getting this “expansive” industry from.

The current private health industry is expansive across the country--it consists of for-profit providers, hospitals, community centers, etc who our government can not negotiate with or set costs for case. This is not what other single payer countries have. They simply don't..

prohibit the existence of private doctors that set their own prices for care and for which citizens can freely go if they can afford. Those private doctors are separate from those countries' govt healthcare system. They don't block govt from setting prices/negotiating

If Tulsi puts out a plan similar to Sanders with the ability for private doctors to exist and provide similar care to M4A doctors, great. That's fine. But that is not what she has verbally been proposing.

I understand, Jordan, and I’m looking forward to seeing Tulsi Gabbard’s proposal which her campaign is indicating includes M4A enrollment for all just like Sanders’ bill.
