Medicare Expansion

36%

Proponents of Medicare expansion believe older adults, people with disabilities, and vulnerable groups should have improved access to affordable health care. They argue that a government-sponsored program helps participants stay healthy, ease financial burdens on families, and reduces prices for care.

Medicare Privatization
