“Medicare for All,” or a single-payer system, is being championed by many on the progressive left, with advocates arguing that it will cut costs by reducing overhead and promote overall health by giving all Americans access to preventive health care.Their opponents argue Medicare for All is a political non-starter that would force Americans off employer-based plans, reduce incentives for doctors and providers, increase bureaucracy and inefficiencies in the system, and lead to worse care overall, all the while inflating the already swelled federal deficit. Should private health insurance exist? Or is it time for Medicare for All? FOR THE MOTION:
Dr. Adam Gaffney - President, Physicians for a National Health Program
Joseph Sanberg - Co-Founder, Aspiration & Chair, CalEITC4Me
AGAINST THE MOTION:
Nick Gillespie - Editor-at-Large, Reason
Sally Pipes - CEO & President, Pacific Research Institute
