Ben Jealous wants Marylanders pay more for less and lower quality healthcare. Or at least, that’s what will happen if his Medicare-for-all proposal becomes law.
Sipping a brew Denizens Brewing Company in Silver Spring earlier this week, the Democrat gubernatorial candidate unveiled why the need for more expensive change is so urgent: Once, when he was a venture capitalist, he failed to lure a kosher lettuce company from Edmonton, Alberta to Maryland because of health care costs. The horror! What if that section at Whole Foods goes bare?
And then he really got serious when he mentioned Saskatchewan. Not Sasquatch, the elusive, hairy, humanoid forest dweller. Saskatchewan, the small but mighty province in Canada, population 1.2 million, that forged Canada’s path to single payer health care over 60 years ago to everyone’s great delight.
