To save confusion, is it too late to change this push for #MedicareForAll to #MedicaidForAll? Medicare isn't #SinglePayer, but Medicaid is. This strikes me as a sort of classism. I think the choice was made to call it Medicare For All because Medicaid is "for the poor."
Thoughts?

Medicare/Medicaid are both Single Payer Systems. While both are paid with tax $'s they come from different sources. Called Medicare for All because they perceive it to be less expensive. On on hand it is The other it isnt. Also most single payer systems R styled after Medicare
Medicare covers 80%, then you must cover the rest. That means government (80%) is one payer, and you (and/or your supplemental insurance, accounting for the other 20%) are the other payer. That's at least two payers, which means it's not "single-payer".

Medicaid costs the government more (it's not "more expensive" in terms of total cost, it just *all* comes out of govt funds) because it covers 100%. It actually is "single-payer" where Medicare is not.

I'm sorry but that is not what Single Payer means. Medicare is the largest single payer system in the world except possibly China or India if they have one. Look it up

It is what single-payer means. It means there's one payer to the healthcare provider. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-payer_healthcare …pic.twitter.com/rqeHSlWLJy
