Medicare for All will destroy private health care
Medicare for All isn't feasible given the state of America's current healthcare system.
Private insurance promotes competition and innovation
Without private insurance, healthcare will become stagnant. The lack of revenue and competition will lead to poorer quality of care and services. Private insurance drives down prices and helps keep high-quality care affordable.
