Podcast Episode 52: Digging Deeper Into the Challenges of a Single-Payer System – Part IV


Listen Later

In the fourth part of this mini-series on single-payer systems, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon look at four versions of single-payer system legislation introduced by the Democrats. The two walk through the four versions from least to most intrusive to the current system, which is based on employer-provided coverage. The four versions are a Medicaid buy-in (also called a “State Public Option”), Medicare buy-in (also called “Medicare for More”), Medicare-X Choice Act (which includes an expansion of the current premium tax credits administered through the state health insurance exchanges), and the full blown Bernie Sanders-style Medicare for All (true single payer, nationalized health care).
