Government has proven consistently that it cannot manage efficiently. For four decades Congress, that is mandated to pass a budget annually, has only done so 4 times, 1977~1989~1995~1997. With this in mind I cannot in good conscience support placing our Government in charge of Medicare for all, not withstanding all the other “FREE” services that are under discussion. The more we are taxed only increases the percentage/amount of wasted spending that will follow. Tax revenues will be paying for all of this. The concept of Medicare for all, healthcare for all, etc., etc., may or may not be bad concepts, except for the proposed manager of these plans, the US Government.
Then it is our responsibility as the people who decide who gets to be those plan managers, to decide wisely.
