Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I liked how he argued when people complain of long waiting times in countries with M4A, addressing how Americans already delay or directly avoid procedures because of cost. Thatβs a main line against M4A skepticals.
Let us never forget, the CURRENT SYSTEM under the status quo will cost us $36-50 Trillion over the next 10 years. That's the current system. In all likelihood, Medicare For All will simultaneously cover everyone while cutting costs dramatically. Once we cut out the bloodsucking middlemen called insurance companies, imagine how much money we will save!
Also, Medicare For All is a PRO-BUSINESS policy! Imagine all the entrepreneurs it will create, people who want to start their own businesses but are too afraid to leave their current job and lose health coverage. Also it will get healthcare costs off the backs of businesses!
Oh fuck this is amazing. I love John Oliver, but I believe this is the first time he is advocated for a Bernie Sanders policy so bluntly.
I actually think this video alone will have a significant positive effect on the campaign, especially when he calls out Pete Buttigieg specifically on his half baked alternative.
Share this video guys, this might be the best succinct argument for M4A that has been made.
This is so refreshing
Something is wrong when you can get more information on what medicare for all entails from a late night talk show then you can from the news.
Thanks for the guac Pete!
This needs to be shared everywhere
That black lady that talked about her diabetes but she had to choose over her heart to remain at 30% to keep alive made me really sad ..
This should be shared everywhere, send it to people who dont know much about medicare 4 all. John Oliver kills it everytime, even with difficult and controversial topics
