What is the difference between Obamacare and single-payer proposals like Medicare for All?

Doesn’t Obamacare cover low-income individuals that don’t have healthcare insurance through their employer, kind of like Medicare for All would do?

Answer 1

The really main problem is, if there’s a government ‘option’ instead of something universal, then you actually get a situation where the government gets stuck with the expensive people and the private insurance gets to lower their costs.

If the government can’t reject people, but private insurance can… you’re just basically giving the private companies more money at tax payer expense.
