“Bernie Sanders’s bill, he calls it ‘Medicare for All.’ In reality, it’s Medicare for none,” said Chris Jacobs, author of “The Case Against Single Payer: How ‘Medicare for All’ Will Wreck America’s Health Care System―And Its Economy,” in an interview with The Epoch Times’ program “American Thought Leaders.”

In Jacobs’s view, “Medicare for All” would curtail rather than increase many people’s access to high-quality health care.
