When the story first aired it was Medicaid for all, then changed to Medicare. I pretty sure you have to be 65 to recieve Medicare. I think they are trying to clean up her promises a bit. Hopefully their are enough working people in that distric that a Republican is elected. Doesn't look hopeful for that area.
no she said medicare, Medicare in the states is 65 and older, Medicare she is talking about is what goes in my country in Canada, we have Medicare which means Single payer system funded by the government for all citizens (except illegals)
Its called Medicare here, same as in the UK.Australia,Taiwan.
what ms.orcasio-cortez doesnt get it is, when you have medicare for all people citizens and undocumented you get the basics yes but its at a cost, for instance in the UK, look at the Charlie Gard case, the poor child that died because the British healthcare system refused to treat him because it was too expensive to treat his rare disease.
And if you're old or too obese, good luck , ask any of our British posters what their hospitals are like compared to the American hospitals.
I suggest Ms. Orcasio-Cortez take a trip to the UK and visit a hospital and see for herself.
For the leftist and Democrats who wants a single payer health system, look up the Charlie Gard case, RIP to that sweet little child, the victim of socialized medicine.
