Letter: Personal insurance coverage is for profit-taking

The Sept. 20 article concerning climbing medical insurance deductibles [Workers feel sting from shift in health coverage] tells us one factor: Medicare for All is the one possibility left for reasonably priced medical insurance. The non-public sector has failed to offer fairly priced medical insurance. Certainly, there’s actually no purpose to have non-public medical insurance corporations apart from profit-taking. They’re middlemen nonessential to well being care supply.

I’m fortunate to have first rate medical insurance. However I consider it’s higher for the nation to have a Medicare for All system. It will in the end present an enormous monetary carry to small enterprise, households, and people.

Medicare for All is NOT socialized drugs. It’s authorities medical insurance that gives entry to the non-public well being care supply system. Most physicians help Medicare for All due to frustrations in coping with non-public medical insurance corporations.

It’s going to end in some extra taxation for the center class. However it’ll nonetheless be cheaper than extreme deductibles and premiums. Some assert that it is going to be too costly. However we’re paying for a costlier system now, and practically two-thirds of the cash within the well being care system is public {dollars}.
