Do you actually know what Medicare for all entails???

Watch John Oliver Destroys the arguments against Medicare for all!

Oliver, in his usual brilliant style, systematically destroyed every argument against M4A:

"Nobody knows what it will actually cost. Anyone saying otherwise is full of shit."

"Most cost estimates come in at or below our nations current public and private sector combined health care spending, and even if it does not end up that way, it is worth it.
The idea of “choice” is an illusion. Most people have one choice: Whatever their employer offers them.
People often have no choice at all in emergencies but to go out-of-network — often even when they have gone out of their way to try to stay in network.

Under M4A, every provider is in network.
The “wait time” argument about other nations with nationalized healthcare that is currently a favorite of those opposed to M4A is basically bogus and based on non-emergency or elective procedures.
People wait ridiculous amounts of time now because they simply cannot afford the co-pays and deductibles needed to be met to get said procedures.
A system where people have to choose between one life saving medication or another due to cost is inherently unjust.
Yes, people in the health care bureaucracy will need new jobs, but that can be handled and is part of the plans offered by both Sanders and Warren.
The current system, as Oliver put it, is a “shit sandwich”, while “Medicare for all who want it” is “still a shit sandwich, only with avocado on it because the same shit still remains.”
And finally, the most succinct point:

If you are arguing against M4A, you are arguing for all of the flaws and unfairness inherent in our current system and you need to own that."
