“Democratic candidates and activists appear all-in on ‘Medicare for All.’ Many supporters of the idea envision a nationwide universal healthcare system that would be financed primarily by increasing taxes on the super-rich. A recent Echelon Insights poll, for example, found that 74% of voters who support Medicare for All believe it could be financed entirely by raising taxes on billionaires. This is a pipe dream. No country in the world makes health care universally free, paid solely by their wealthiest taxpayers.” (09/21/26)
