The pandemic is actually an ideal time to implement Medicare for All. Aside from guaranteeing healthcare despite losing your job (the most important thing), people's reticence to go to the hospital would minimize the "shock" of people who were otherwise afraid of expense suddenly actually getting some healthcare.
Oh, you don't have to convince me. Jacobin had a half decent article calling out Biden's attack on Italy's Single Payer showing that neoliberal austerity measures more than halved Italy's available ICU beds between 1997 and 2015 and then between 2009 to 2017 lost 8,000 doctors and 13,000 nurses.
