Fact check: Does Abdul El-Sayed’s Medicare-for-All plan raise taxes and ban private insurance?

Mike Rogers has accused Democrat Abdul El-Sayed of proposing a Medicare-for-All system that would hike taxes and outlaw private health plans. Experts agree that financing such a single-payer model would likely require new taxes, though the impact on middle-class families could be mixed. El-Sayed has clarified he does not intend to ban private insurance, arguing it would become redundant. The dispute appears amid the Michigan U.S. Senate race, with both campaigns trading criticisms. Fact-checkers highlight that the cost estimates for a similar plan vary and that the financing details remain unspecified.
