El-Sayed on Medicare for All: I Don’t Want to Take Anything Away, This Is About What We Offer to People
‘If people want to keep their private insurance above and beyond the public insurance that we guarantee, then great’
RUSH EXCERPT:
EL-SAYED: "If people want redundant care, absolutely. I don’t want to take it away from people. Medicare for all is comes without premiums, co-pays and without deductibles. Guarantees care where you need it. As President Obama called it a starter home, you know, you look on, we’ve outgrown our starter home, it’s time to reach and say, what can we get now? If people want to keep their private insurance above and beyond the public insurance that we guarantee, then great, but I don’t want them to have to have that. Because if you look where we are right now, the average premium is $2,000, average deductible is $4,500, that deductible is why we carry medicarel debt. We don’t have to live like this anymore in in United States."
