First of all, Medicare is a program that our seniors have paid into their entire lives, and now we're talking about putting 180 million people into this program.
How would Medicare for All affect people's access? You mentioned countries like the United Kingdom where there's over 4 million people on waiting lists and long wait [times], sometimes a year and a half for necessary treatments.
Davis: Well, a lot of talk, obviously, about Medicare for All, but less focus has been given to the people that are actually part of that program now-American seniors.
No. 1 is people are saying, "Hey, if you want to be able to get a public program, you should be able to get one and look how well these public programs are doing or they're going to be cheaper and less expensive."
How would single-payer or Medicare for All impact these kinds of innovations that are really helping patients?
When people would age into the Medicare program, the pump that they had been using for years was not covered by Medicare.
Davis: Well, we've talked about the health care system as a whole and competing systems like Medicare for All, which, of course, would require Congress to act in a major way.
