Abdul El-Sayed details Medicare for All plan with wealth tax funding

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, a prominent advocate for Medicare for All, has outlined a detailed plan for a universal, single-payer healthcare system. His proposal, co-authored with Micah Johnson, aims to provide comprehensive coverage for all Americans, including physician visits and prescription drugs, while allowing patients to choose any participating provider. El-Sayed envisions the system operating similarly to the Federal Reserve, with an independent governing board to ensure stability, and plans to fund it through a wealth tax and by negotiating drug prices.

    How Abdul El-Sayed would build Medicare for All, from a wealth tax to a Fed-style governing board

    The Michigan Democrat co-wrote a 2021 guide to single-payer that would fold Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA subsidies into one fund, with new taxes on the wealthy to cover the rest.
