There are people — candidates and pundits and billionaires — who say Medicare 4 All is impossible, that it will bankrupt us. That have a zillion reasons not to do it.
These people have no faith in Americans.
Canada covers everyone in their country for half our per capita cost. And they have better results: longer lifespans and lower infant mortality.
If Canadians could figure out how to set up this system, why can’t Americans? Of course we can.
Elizabeth Warren doesn’t have to explain why M4A can be done. Tom Steyers and Mike Bloomberg have to explain why they don’t believe Americans are as capable as Canadians. Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar need to explain why they doubt that our people can accomplish what the British, Germans, French, Israelis, Japanese and others have already done.
Our country has many problems. But throughout history, Americans have created a society that is often the envy of others around the world. Elizabeth Warren believes the American people are able to build a health care system that is the equal of any country in the world. She has faith in our can-do abilities.
