Letter to the editor: What ‘Medicare for All’ do Democrats propose?

Canton Repository (OH)

The Democratic candidates for president espousing Medicare for All are not clear on what Medicare they are talking about.

Is it the Medicare that is paying brokers to sign up seniors for Medicare Advantage Plans and paying insurance companies a set amount for each senior in a Medicare Advantage Plan?

They do this because insurance companies can do it cheaper than government.
