Here's a very good article from an ex Republican lawmaker and business owner for Medicare for All and it makes a lot of sense especially for all business owners.
Republican business owner and former state lawmaker: We need Medicare for All. Here's why.
We must fix this market failure, to save lives and create a more robust economy. Medicare for All offers the best solution.
Relieving businesses of the responsibility of employer-sponsored insurance, which is now priced at $19,616 a year for a family plan, will help expand our economy — by creating jobs, raising wages, maintaining our ability to compete internationally, and supporting small and mid-sized businesses like mine that are starting to buckle under the burden. In recent years, my costs have been rising 8% annually, and that’s low compared to some of my peers.
Get practical: Medicare for All is a distant dream. Here's how to start fixing health care right now.
Medicare for All will also encourage entrepreneurship, the bedrock of our economy. Why? Because people can pursue new jobs and careers knowing that they won’t lose access to health care for themselves or their families.
Sen. Sanders and other proponents of Medicare for All are free to frame the policy as a component of democratic socialism. However, when it comes to health care, their democratic socialism and my capitalism are in agreement.
Let’s focus on the policy, not on loaded terminology.
