J.B. Silvers, the John R. Mannix Medical Mutual of Ohio Professor of Health Care Finance, wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times describing what America’s path toward Medicare for All could look like.
The piece, titled “This is the most realistic path to Medicare for All,” outlines how private insurance companies are facing market dysfunction and failure.
The article highlights a past precedent, noting that when Medicare was first implemented, it was the result of private insurance failing.
