Per the latest available data, which is from 2023, 67% of all healthcare spending in Switzerland is paid for by the private sector, as compared to 49% in Greece, and 46% in the USA. While invoking other countries, proponents of “Medicare for All” — like Bernie Sanders and Abdul Al-Sayed — want to make taxpayers fund all medical expenses without any premiums, co-pays, or deductibles. However, that is not how Medicare or the healthcare systems of any developed country operate, because this would create a buffet mentality in which people wantonly consume with no regard for costs.
