EXCERPT:
This is so typical of the left. One thing for them, something different for everyone else.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Abdul El-Sayed Wants Medicare for All ‘From Cradle to Grave.’ His Psychiatrist Wife Doesn’t Accept Medicare—or Any Insurance at All.
Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed supports universal health care through a single-payer “Medicare for All” system that would cover every American “from cradle to grave.” His wife, psychiatrist Sarah Jukaku, does not take Medicare or any other insurance plan, forcing her patients to pay out of pocket for the services they receive. She also appears to have scrubbed a portion of the “Frequently Asked Questions” page on her website making clear that she does not accept insurance.
Jukaku, who has a medical degree from Columbia University and a masters from the University of Oxford, worked as co-chief of psychiatry at University of Michigan Health—which does accept Medicare—before starting her own Ann Arbor, Mich.-based practice, Mind Work Psychiatry, in 2024. The following March, Jukaku opted out of Medicare, records show, meaning she cannot bill the program and requires Medicare patients to pay out of pocket. The same goes for patients with private insurance plans, though they can often submit bills to their providers and recoup some of the costs.
Jukaku’s private practice and her financial arrangement with her patients stand in stark contrast to the vision El-Sayed has articulated on the campaign trail about the way the health care system should work.
