They didn't destroy their health insurance corporations. They still function just fine along side universal medical coverage.

I don't know what it says about the US that we can't provide the same medical care to our citizens that Mexico does.

By the way, Medicare for All is NOT free medical coverage. You have a monthly co-pay and 20% deductible.
