Will Medicare for All work?
Position1 of 2

Yes, Medicare for All will work.

This position holds that Medicare for All will work and is a much-needed addition to the US. It argues healthcare is a right that the government should provide, and points out that similar single-payer systems are well established and very popular in many other countries.

  1. Healthcare is a right and should be provided by the government
    Healthcare is recognized as a right in many places, but not all. While most developed countries offer public healthcare in some form, the United States is behind the times. Medicare for all would simply put us on par with the rest of the developed world, guaranteeing healthcare to many who cannot afford it.
  2. Similar systems are very popular in other countries
    Many of the US's allies in Europe already have models that resemble Medicare for All. In those countries, the systems often enjoy high popularity among the populace, as well as care on par with the US.
