the fact that I have to buy a supplemental policy from a private insurance company to cover the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover is frankly insane. I'd be happy to just have 100% Medicare For All - and the rich will always be able to buy additional policies, there will always be an opportunity for "extras" - but there wouldn't be Medical Debt and Bankruptcy. People wouldn't have to pay monthly premiums and then thousands of dollars in deductibles before getting anything back from the system - and even if they could finally afford and meet the $5000 by the time the year is over - it's time to start it all over again.
