Yes, but remember that while the Government runs Medicare, it is not exactly free. Parts B and D have premiums and deductibles. Part A is free (but not for all) and hospitalization has a $1300+ deductible each benefit period and hefty daily coinsurance if you're unlucky enough to be in the hospital longer than 60 days.And you pay Medicare tax your entire life as long as you're working, even if you're over 65 and don't use the benefits. I may be wrong, but when people hear "single payer" I think many assume there will be no medical or hospitalization out-of-pocket. |
