American health care is at a crossroads. Health spending reached
$3.5 trillion in 2017. Yet more than 27 million people remain
uninsured. And it's unclear if all that spending is buying
higher-quality care. Patients, doctors, insurers, and the
government acknowledge that the status quo is unsustainable.
America's last attempt at health care reform-Obamacare-didn't work.
Nearly a decade after its passage, Democrats are calling for a
government takeover of the nation's health care system: Medicare
for All. Supporters of Medicare for All assert the right to health
care, promising universal, high-quality care to all Americans at no
cost. With a sales pitch like that, it's no wonder the idea has
broad support. Democrats, particularly progressive ones, hope to
capitalize on this enthusiasm. Here Sally C. Pipes makes a case
against Medicare for All. Using evidence from government-run
systems in Canada and the U.K. she explains how single-payer health
care makes a litany of promises it can't possibly keep. Between
unpacking the plans under consideration in Congress-including the
real costs behind the claims-and detailing the horrors of
single-payer care in other countries, Pipes highlights how
Americans actually fare better than their peers in Canada and the
U.K. on health outcomes. Included are heart-wrenching stories of
the human costs of free, universal, government-run health care
systems. Pipes concludes with her vision for delivering the
affordable, accessible, quality care the American people are
looking for.
