Medicare For All Is A Brand, Not A Plan

Medicare for All is gaining political momentum, but the article argues it still lacks the detail of a real national blueprint for 330 million people.

The author supports universal coverage, yet says neither traditional Medicare nor Medicare Advantage is a fit model for a nationwide system.

Existing Medicare still has major gaps: premiums, no out-of-pocket cap, and limited dental, vision, and hearing benefits.

The piece argues that scaling up current Medicare would also scale up its affordability and coverage problems, making Medicare for All more slogan than plan.
