Mehdi, Medicare only covers 80%. The US needs universal Medicaid. Medicaid has a bad rap because hardly any doctors accept it. With all doctors enrolled, it becomes the M4A you're talking about.

Do you know why healthcare is tied to your job like it is?

Removing healthcare from employment allows the American people more freedoms in the jobs they take/ stay in. Healthcare IS a right, and should be provided through taxes.

Veterans don't necessarily get free healthcare; it's a process to be able to receive healthcare through the VA. Those who qualify *still* have to carry health insurance from another provider; the VA health plan doesn't cover *all* costs, it only covers the vet, and not the family

It is bonkers. Gives employers way too much leverage over staff.

No one not working and paying taxes should get Free Health Care!! Understand, No One, if a deadbeat can pay for his or her healthcare, fine, otherwise no way, it is not fair to Hardworking Taxpayers of America who pay for their own Healthcare!! Remember, nothing is free!!😡‼️
