Republicans Put Out a Very Misleading Ad Attacking Medicare-for-All
“The ad also grossly misrepresents how a Medicare-for-all plan would work for consumers. There’s no one agreed-upon design for a single-payer system—countries around the world have various schemes—but generally, employer-based plans would be replaced by government insurance that most doctors would accept. Some doctors catering to an elite clientele could opt out of insurance altogether and only accept cash payments, but that doesn’t seem to apply to the situation in the ad, since the doctor’s office is inquiring about insurance.”
