Hospitals present a major roadblock to Medicare for All Act

More and more Democrats are signing onto making the government the only payer of healthcare services, but they’re about to face a considerable adversary in the hospital industry.

Hospitals tell the Washington Examiner that while they support “universal coverage,” in which everyone has some way to pay for medical care, they don’t want a state or federal government to be the only one funding it. As the debate over what is known as “single payer” healthcare continues to take hold, they will become a more vocal part of the opposition.
