Still not an answer the original question.???????????.....................??????????????This is a giant slap in the face for Donald Trump and the GOP who are fighting against universal health care.
It is evident without conducting studies that universal health care will save on administration costs and the savings are costed at up to $ 2 trillion in some studies.
Furthermore, this is without the power a monolithic medical system would have on drug costs and other costs.
Goodbye Donald Trump, you are on the wrong side of health care.
22 studies agree: 'Medicare for All' saves money
22 studies agree: 'Medicare for All' saves money

The evidence abounds: A "Medicare for All" single-payer system would guarantee comprehensive coverage to everyone in America and save money.
Christopher Cai and colleagues at three University of California campuses examined 22 studies on the projected cost impact for single-payer health insurance in the United States and reported their findings in a recent paper in PLOS Medicine. Every single study predicted that it would yield net savings over several years. In fact, it’s the only way to rein in health care spending significantly in the U.S.
All of the studies, regardless of ideological orientation, showed that long-term cost savings were likely. Even the Mercatus Center, a right-wing think tank, recently found about $2 trillion in net savings over 10 years from a single-payer Medicare for All system. Most importantly, everyone in America would have high-quality health care coverage.
Medicare for All is far less costly than our current system largely because it reduces administrative costs. With one public plan negotiating rates with health care providers, billing becomes quite simple. We do away with three-quarters of the estimated $812 billion the U.S. now spends on health care administration. ...

As long as Donald Trump and his spawn are not shoveling taxpayer money into their pockets.

- DOJ
- Firefighters
In a monopolistic healthcare situation, the monopoly could divert patients to the lowest cost medical services providers and could evidently strongly influence the cost of drugs.
