There’s a common response Republicans offer when asked why they don’t support some version of Medicare For All.
“It’s too expensive,” they claim. “We can’t afford it.”
That’s complete nonsense, and it’s not the real reason the GOP opposes any attempt to fix America’s broken healthcare system. Of course we can afford better, cheaper health care, but the problem is that too many lawmakers cash checks from the healthcare industry’s lobbyists.
It’s not a new problem. In fact, President Kennedy was fighting for affordable health care six decades ago. And yet it’s only gotten worse and become a financial albatross for millions of families. It’s time for Medicare For All.
