WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that?
EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.
