Do you really think Bernie would let that loophole continue to exist? If it’s anything like HIllaryCare, doctors would have no choice but to accept “medicare for all” and would not be allowed to charge patients more than the ‘medicare’ reimbursement.
“An intriguing study recently compared mortality rates from all treatable cancers among the US, the UK, France, and Germany. US mortality rates are better compared to our peers. Perhaps Americans do receive better treatment.
“Here’s the catch. When mortality rates are restricted only to patients under 65, the US loses its lead – we are right in the middle. Only when we compare mortality rates among patients over 65 do we excel among our peers. Why? Possibly because Medicare gives older Americans the health care access they lacked when younger.”

Medicare pays only about 88 cents for every dollar of care, shortchanging hospitals and doctors. These providers take the payments because they can shift the unmet costs on their patients with private insurance. But if everyone is on "Medicare-for-all," no cost-shifting is possible. The only alternative is lowering the quality of care -- longer waits, limited access to technology.
I have here a bill from a doctor——the M.D. submitted a charge for $185.00———my Medicare plan only approved $82.04-——that’s less than 1/2.

Interesting. Didn’t know that - can I assume it was democrats behind that idea?
Let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill. It’s basically courtesy to use the title “President” for ex-Presidents.

Medicare For All is Medicare REPEAL

BTW, the Democrat plan to ease us into the bath water of Socialized Medicine via Medicare was one of many long-term Democrat strategies that fell to the wayside with the election of Ronaldus Magnus in 1980.
One of the many reasons the Left still spews bile at him to this day.
Takings clause.
Save part of Medicare into private Care Account.
Protect Medicare from Democrat theives.
New industry - black market health care. OR It’ll be John Galt time as doctors opt out. What’s the point if you can never repay your student loans.
88% on average -- but Medicare was cut to shift funds into Obamacare.
Well plus, when those are the only patients there are, what are they gonna do?
How is it still not a capital offense to introduce socialistic legislation?
Medicare is already going bankrupt. Aren’t the 70% of Americans that love the phrase even aware of this?
My family in Italy love their free medical and they’re free education.
And then when my cousin came to visit here, she was amazed that we don’t have teeny tiny apartments and actually could afford a whole house.
They pay for their free stuff with the lack of opportunity or ability to ever get ahead. It’s quite a price to pay.
