Two interrelated reasons why I stand strong for single payor, but vehemently oppose #MedicareForAll:
1. Medicare reimbursement rates are unsustainable
2. Medicare adds to administrative burden so severely that that docs are now refusing medicare patients. https://www.businessinsider.com/payments-for-hospitals-doctors-elizabeth-warren-medicare-for-all-2019-11">https://www.businessinsider.com/payments-...

I’d have to say my favorite part of medicare is when they tell you they wont pay for needed services and that you can’t charge for them either. BUT! If you don’t send the charges to medicare anyway (coding them with an X to indicate to them “don’t pay”), you are committing fraud.
