The battle cry of the left today when it comes to healthcare is “Medicare For All."
This idea arose with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during his 2016 campaign for president.
Sanders knew that the term “nationalized medicine” would be seen as pejorative by a majority of Americans, so he renamed the concept.
Nationalized healthcare became “Medicare for All.”
It was very creative on Sanders’s part.
This has become the essence of the left’s proposals for how to pursue medical reform, now that ObamaCare has become too heavy a political burden to bear and is essentially non-functioning.
Even Democrats who presented themselves as being more moderate than the socialist Sanders — such as the two senators representing my home state of New Hampshire, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan — have globed onto Medicare for All as the most convenient way to demonstrate their support for dramatic improvement in our nation’s healthcare system.
