  1. The Medicare for all program is similar to Germany's in that it covers ALL medical. Canada covers all bodily excluding dental, vision, and Rx that is filled out side a hospital. Even Canada's insufficient universal healthcare is better than our nonsense: premium in their case tax is cheaper than our premiums, particularly on what employer portion pay; mine was $5K and my portion was $3K. It would be about the same or less for myself, and the employer portion would be the same as my portion that's lower. Providing room for real raises not some silly ass 1% or 2.5% annual raise. And my insurance is the cheaper high deductible price (since I have no medical problems), we would all pay that lower premium price for full health coverage. And will no deductibles, and either very low copays to no copays. Germany, the copays are capped at about 300 Euros a year. Copays for medicine are from 0 to 10 Euros per Rx filling. Hospital stays are 10 Euros a day. Ambulance fee is 10 Euros (imagine that, cheaper than a fucking taxi). They don't allow hospitals, clinics, and especially big pharma to charge whatever. Insulin in the most advance form only costs up to $5 a vile. In the US that same vile may sell for $300. In Germany it's $10 Euro copayment. Canada you can pick it up for about $20 - $30, and in Canada you don't need a prescription to get insulin... why should you? It's idiotic to even require that, nobody would buy the shit if they weren't diabetic. Antiviral medicine in the US can cost $50 to $300 and some as high as $600 for the same tube of over the counter Zovirax (Acyclovir 5%) cream for 8 Euros or roughly $11 in Germany. 1 gram Valcyclovir tablets cost $5 a pill in the US, it's $0.50 in Germany and since Valcyclovir does require Rx that one is covered via their compulsory insurance at $10 Euros for 20 tablets. It only costs $0.07 to produce one tablet of either either acyclovir or valcyclovir.... about the price of a OTC pain relievers like an aspirin and/or acetaminophen or ibuprofen. And their antibiotics are cheaper, antibiotics per unit dose ranges from $0.10 to the newest antibiotic used to combat antibiotic resistant infection at $1.00 a unit. And there is no economy of scale thus profit motive doesn't work, dosage is short to simply kills the infection; you don't have an ongoing strep infection. The entire point, we don't want people taking antibiotics unless they really have an infection and to take all dosage required to kill all the bacterium. Problem in the US becomes, people skimp on their antibiotics... which risks resistant infection. Our system in the US is quite literally criminal economically, morally, and biologically. https://international.commonwealthfund.org/countries/germany/ https://www.eu-patienten.de/en/behandlung_deutschland/ungeplante_behandlung/wer_traegt_die_kosten_1/behandlung_wie_gesetzlich_krankenversicherte_3/krankentransport/krankentransporte_1.jsp
