Our current healthcare system will cost $50T over the next 10 years. When Fox News and insurance lobbyist-funded politicians say that Medicare for All will cost $32T over 10 years, they're leaving out the part that it's an $18T savings and guarantees all of us high quality healthcare. - ThreadSky

Picture a world in which we can all focus on our jobs, our relationships, and our planet, w/o the health care “sword of Damocles” hanging over us…a doctor’s office NOT spending half its resources sorting out coverage…employers NOT spending HR resources on health care admin crap; and yes the savings!

It is easy for them to cut our health care when they don't use our insurance. They have the best money can buy, paid for by us, the taxpayer.

Could be 150T, and all I know is that my family was responsible for 18k in HDHCP premiums for 2024. Knee surgery, a biking accident/broken up shoulder, a bout of pneumonia and a fun staph infection put us over 30g’s for the year. Premiums and OOP expenses are a tax we can’t afford as it is, FFS.

And we could pay for all of it by simply taxing the ultra wealthy and enforcing collection.

My favorite is the conservative 'concern' that we will not receive 'high quality healthcare'... What sort of quality healthcare do they think we are getting now? Have they been to a doctor's office in the last 20 years?

We have the most expensive healthcare in the world, by far.
There are literally dozens of different health care systems we could copy and get better results for much less money.

$32T sounds like a lot, but for just $18T more we can have for-profit gatekeepers making bonuses for minimizing the care we actually get, and whether or not we get any at all.

You will note that neither Democrat nor Republican are proposing Medicare For All. Just folks like myself who think it good policy.
