Medicare for all doesn't work on its own because you're still on the hook for at least 20% of your medical bills under Medicare.
You will still need a supplemental insurance plan.
We should have a true single-payer system, but I would settle for “Medicare Extra For All,” so long as bankruptcy-inducing co-pays and "patient responsibility" bills are eliminated.
