Medicare for All is not Medicare for All
About this episode
As midterms near, Medicare for All is back in the spotlight and Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has become the newest face for it. Today, we dig into what Medicare for All would actually do and hear directly from El-Sayed on why he thinks it’s critical to figure out.
Tomorrow, billionaire Mark Cuban joins the show as we continue our discussion on Medicare for All.
Fact checking by Vito Emanuel.
