For Medicare most have no problem with the monthly fee for Part B, D, or Medical coverage.

Certainly reasonable, but if not, each state usually has a program for low income Medicare eligible recipients.

One must shop carefully today as there are many, many options to choose from. Organizations like SHINE can help people better understand the differences.

Europe does have comprehensive medical coverage for it's residents. Each country offers healthcare at low-cost. But even with that, I encountered many people flying to the US and/or Southeast Asia to get medical procedures done. Why? The wait list were long in their home country.

It certainly is a complex topic to deal with. Explaining the pros and cons would detract from the simple mantra of what Medicare for All implies.
