Health policy analyst says Medicare for America would end private healthcare

Chris Jacobs, founder, and CEO of Juniper Research Group, told Fox News on Tuesday that the Democrats’ so-called “moderate” health care plan will have dangerous consequences.

According to Fox News reporter Barnini Chakraborty, Jacobs told “Fox & Friends” that “people wouldn't get health care,” and patients would be unable to visit a doctor for their own $50 or $100 checkups.

“That’s banning private health care,” Jacobs said. “That’s getting the government in between doctors and patients.”

If passed, the Medicare for America Act will effectively worsen the current shortage of physicians in America, as it would put thousands of primary care physicians out of business.
