I read this morning that Mayor Pete plans to attack Medicare For All, for political gain in Nevada. This will thrill my old pals in the insurance industry, as Pete's plan preserves the very system that makes them huge profits while bankrupting & killing millions. Here's why. 1/7

To boost corporate profits, the current system (high deductibles, denials of coverage, etc) is designed to keep you from getting care. By refusing to ban these toxins, Pete's plan is a godsend to my old industry. It's why they've given him more $ than any candidate but Trump. 2/7

Another problem for consumers: Medicare for All enrolls everyone in a single insurance pool, giving the gov't leverage to negotiate lower costs with providers & facilities. Pete's public option only covers *some*, meaning a smaller insurance pool & higher costs. 3/7

Also: Under plans like Pete's, uninsured Americans would be automatically enrolled in the public plan, and they could face a $7,000 tax increase at the end of the year. Medicare For All covers you entirely. 4/7

: “Mayor Buttigieg, you're selling your plan as Medicare for all who want it, yet it'd automatically enroll uninsured Americans into a public option even if they don't want it & force them to pay for it. How's that truth in advertising?” 5/7

Speaking of how Pete sells his plan: It's completely different from Medicare For All, yet he borrows the popular branding & calls his plan "Medicare For All Who Want It." That's likely because polls show a huge majority of Dems want Medicare For All. That tells you something. 6/7

Look, I live with huge regret knowing the system I worked for placed profits over Americans' health. I have no motive to want to reform the system that fed me well -- except to see Americans get the care they need. Pete's plan keeps the bad system going. I know this too well. 7/7
