Another Reason Why We Need Medicare For All
Many employer-based health insurance plans just aren’t good enough for many Americans. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian and Megan Gailey discuss on The Young Turks. MORE TYT: https://tyt.com/trial Read more here: https://ift.tt/2lrArwI "The share of Americans covered by employer polices has been drifting downward over the past two decades, and according to a recent US Census Bureau report, the share covered by private insurance has not statistically changed. This indicates low-income people are not landing positions with benefits. Only one in three employees at lower-wage firms are likely to be enrolled in employer-based health plans, compared to 63 percent of workers at other companies. They are also less likely to be eligible and are forced to pay more for their plans. The 2020 Democratic primary campaign has put a spotlight on employer-based plans, which cover about 153 million Americans. Progressive candidates, such as Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, want to move from employer-sponsored coverage to a national, government-run health insurance system to ensure that everyone is covered. Other candidates, like former Vice President Joe Biden, are defending the current system."
