Serious question about Medicare for all, including illegals?
I don't work in the medical field, but it is my understanding that a lot of doctors come from India because we have a shortage of doctors.
I think it would be great if everyone had free healthcare, but I don't see how that is possible. My current plan cost $15 an hour out of my pay. Does anyone have a link to the overall cost?
I'm about these issues I see.
1. More Doctors, nurses, and med. staff.
2. Facilities (offices, hospitals, etc)
3. Pharma, medical, supplies, drugs, etc.
It seems like a major, expensive. Problem. I'm not asking will a pro/con opinion. Just the logistics of it.
Thank you.
My plan is a group plan through my union. The amount we all pay per hour is out of a package of $82 per hour. This also covers dental, and optical. It is the same for a single member, as a member w/a family.

You could start with how much the Brits pay for their National Health System. Doctors appointments, hospital treatment is free at the point of delivery but you are charged a fixed sum for prescriptions and dental charges are extra.
£2,200 to £2,700 per year looks about typical.

Medicare operates more efficiently than private health insurers and so can cover more people for less cost. There's various reasons for this, from the lack of duplication of services to the greater ability to bargain for prices.
