Medicare … doesn’t cover a lot, and requires huge copays.

Worth asking why. The answer is that it’s not being funded well enough.

None of which is necessary,

Agreed.

and just adds overhead to the cost requiring higher costs for less care.

But this wouldn’t be the case if it were properly funded.

I feel like there’s just no reason not to have a national healthcare service that’s worth the tradeoff.

But that’s just it - if Medicare for all were properly funded, then wouldn’t it be worth the tradeoff?

Whats the alternative NHS going to look like, if it ends up with the same funding problem as Medicare? (Spoiler alert - it’ll look just like Medicare.)
