Schultz objects to universal healthcare because he says that the U.S. can’t give people this coverage “for free”. This demonstrates his lack of understanding about how Medicare works and how it can be expanded for everyone. The money people spend on insurance can be used to cover the healthcare costs which will save the money that currently goes to CEOs. Instead of having a staff whose only purpose it to deny coverage, they can be re-trained to coordinate health care like find doctors, including specialists that fit for each patient. Preventive medicine is cheaper with better results in the long run. Pharma price controls would be a HUGE step in saving money and could have prevented the opioid crisis.
