So I can’t put a link on this because I was just watching this on TV during a panel discussion.
So what they said was that 32 trillion sounds like a lot unless you look at the big picture. If you take all the money spent now to insurance companies and take the money that is used for eyeglasses and hearing aids and all that other kind of stuff and put it all together and then, in its place, healthcare for everyone, the estimated cost is $32 trillion over 10 years.
But the savings would be trillions.
So what they were saying was that over the next 10 years we’re going to spend way more than 32 trillion anyway.
I’m not sure that’s accurate. If we just follow the GOP plan of let the fukers die, then we will probably save some money.
Depending on how many Americans die, potentially we could save a lot of money. Thank God the rich ones will be OK.
Health care for all (Medicare for all) would be cheaper and better. It would replace the convoluted socialist system we have now with a simple more efficient socialist system. Then we could require published prices and higher copays until we had capitalistic price and quality controls.
