Medicare for All is gaining steam again, but what actually happens when "free healthcare" meets government reality?

Nate and Charlie break down five reasons they believe a single-payer system would make America's healthcare problems even worse.

JD Vance says Republicans won't stop socialism with free-market slogans. Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis argue that universal healthcare shouldn't be confused with communism. Bernie Sanders says healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right. So what should the libertarian answer actually be?

Nate and Charlie dig into the Medicare for All debate, including taxes replacing insurance premiums, projected government savings, hospital reimbursement rates, healthcare shortages, increased demand, political rationing, drug development, inflation, deficits, and the massive bureaucracy a national single-payer system could create.

Then they turn to the alternative: certificate-of-need reform, direct primary care, cash-pay healthcare, expanded HSAs, separating insurance from employment, and loosening licensing restrictions.

If government helped create the healthcare mess, should Americans really hand government even more control?
