Blah blah blah.The $32 trillion estimate is based on Sanders' bill that has never been voted on; in it he says he will reduce payments to providers by 40%, and that private insurance will have to be banned to induce doctors to accept his insurance plan, and it also claims he will force drug companies to vastly reduce their prices, which means there would have to be a vast reduction in expenditures for the development of new drugs. As a headline, Medicare for All may sound good, but a closer look shows it would require a vast increase in the government's coercive powers over the private sector.The Democrats say Medicare-for-All would cost $32 trillion over ten years.Medicare for All Loses Momentum Among Democrats
Rut Roh!
Democrat talking points are being shunned as the pie in the sky bullshit they are.
We are currently spending $3.5 trillion (and climbing) each year for health care.
Now here's the hard part: What is $3.5 trillion/year times ten years?
Noise noise noise.
No alternative legislation from the Republicans.
Just noise. Blah blah blah.
And that is why UHC is inevitable.
