I see people cheering for Medicare for All that Bernie put out but did you actually read his proposal?
If you have a life threatening emergency you have to wait in line. Bernie likes to skip that part of his Medicare for All.

Take the United Kingdom's National Health Service. For years, the program's mismanaged finances and chronic staff shortages have made overcrowded hospitals and lengthy treatment delays basic facts of life for British patients.
Medical facilities are so overburdened that it is common for patients to be treated in hospital corridors -- a practice that has resulted in many patients "dying prematurely,"
This winter, an estimated 100,000 U.K. residents waited for 30 minutes or longer in the back of ambulances before hospital emergency departments could accommodate them. The NHS even canceled roughly 55,000 surgeries to conserve resources during this winter's flu season.
I witnessed this IN PERSON when I was in Australia because they have Gov ran healthcare and my friends mom almost died. The Ambulance drivers said they take their time due to low pay and the hospital was too backed up. She would have to wait. We had to call 000 again to get help
