Medicare for all news

*Medicare for All Legislation Introduced to Address Poor U.S. Health Outcomes, Inequities.*

I think that focusing on "inequity" in US medicine is a distraction from the real issue. What's wrong with the US medical system is that many Americans can't get the medical care they need.

We should set up a national medical system to give all Americans the medical care they need. Other countries prove every day that that is possible.

If we gave every American good medical care, as a byproduct there would be no more inequities in medicine. But we should not formulate the goal in terms of inequities. We could eliminate inequities by giving all Americans _no_ medical care, but that is not what we should aim for.
