“We have got to figure out how we pay for it. It’s unrealistic in how we pay for it today.” That was how former Virginia governor and potential presidential candidate Terry McAuliffe characterized Medicare for All, even as he was announcing his support for it.
McAuliffe is certainly right about the unrealistic part, although otherworldly would be a more appropriate description.
Put simply, there is nothing like Medicare for All anywhere in the industrialized world.
