Dr. Paul Song on “The Robust Opposition”

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

PNHP national board member Dr. Paul Song and Business for Medicare for All president Wendell Potter appeared on “The Robust Opposition” on April 6, 2020. Dr. Song addressed criticism of Italy’s response to COVID-19 by single-payer skeptics, noting that South Korea and other countries with national health systems had responded much more aggressively, and that Medicare for All would have allowed the U.S. to do the same.

Wendell Potter pointed to the machinations of private health insurers, warning that they would claim undue credit for covering patients and may end up raising premiums unjustly as a result of the pandemic.
