A comment on What I learned from reading a thousand emergency room bills. Parent comment
My original statement might have been more accurate had I said "fully eliminate private care and private insurance".
Certainly with medicare for all both of those would be drastically reduced. With the medicaid buy-in they would both be moderately reduced.
I still think private care and private insurance will exist under both models, but like you said, they may be different in terms of what they cover.
