This virus is another stark reminder of why we need Medicare for All. People who are exhibiting symptoms or who were exposed to the virus are being placed under mandatory isolation and quarantine – leaving uninsured and underinsured patients with massive medical bills.
The high costs of medical care and quarantine are not only leaving people in massive debt – they’re discouraging people from seeking medical care, which puts all of us at risk.
All health care costs relating to the coronavirus should be covered, including testing and treatment. And, under Medicare for All, we’d all be safer.
Just another reason to vote for candidates who support Medicare for All. We can work together to improve our health security.
