Reseña del libro "Common Sense: Medicare for All: What Will It Mean for Me? (en Inglés)"
Thomas Paine made a strong case in his pamphlet, Common Sense, for people in the Thirteen Colonies to gain independence from England in 1775-1776. This pamphlet is also based on simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense.Over the last year, the U. S. has been confronted by a triple crisis involving the COVID-19 pandemic, its resultant economic downturn on the scale of the 1930s, and widespread protests against ongoing systemic racism. This triple crisis has exposed ongoing barriers to affordable health care, widespread disparities and inequities, and unacceptable quality of care. Many Americans have lost their jobs, health insurance and livelihoods.What does Medicare for All mean for you? It means getting health care when you need it, wherever you are, based on medical need, not your ability to pay. It means longer and better quality of life for you and your family. With a new system of progressive taxes, 95 percent of Americans will pay less than they do now for health insurance and care. For our country, Medicare for All will bring improved health of our population, help for the labor market and the economy, and savings with less bureaucracy and waste.
