"Medicare For All" is a misnomer. It is misleading on purpose. Let me explain

I don't understand this comment.
The government is just going to spend more money overall on health care, and the private sector will spend less overall.
The government might raise taxes or increase deficits, both of which are bad of course, but there's no indication that benefits to seniors would decrease.

When the government takes over health care waiting lines are longer and health is rationed and prioritized. That's been the case in every country with universal health care. If you think that this would be done without eliminating some types of care for seniors "who are about to die anyway" then you are really naive.
