Medicare for All is good for everyone. There is no reason to attempt to scare seniors into thinking anything otherwise.

Right now, for example, long-term care―at home or in a nursing home―is not covered by Medicare. And the cost of a semi-private room, food and housecleaning in a nursing home averages $225 a day, or $82,125 each year.

Under the current long-term care system, many seniors have no choice but to impoverish themselves until they can qualify for Medicaid. That would all change under a Medicare for All system. Health care would include at-home services, as well as nursing home care. And that’s not all! Improved Medicare for All would include vision, hearing and dental coverage―and eliminate all premiums, co-pays and deductibles.

Not only must we fight back against misinformation being spread by predictable opponents of Medicare for All, we now must correct the record by some longtime Democrats like Joe Biden, who has proposed to merely tweak the current system instead of fighting for Medicare for All.
