    Medicare for all would not only guarantee health care for all people, not only save families and our entire nation significant sums of money, it would radically improve the lives of all Americans and bring about significant improvements in our economy.https://www.vox.com/2018/8/3/17641560/medicare-for-all-trump …

        But will the health insurance companies ever allow anything close to this? There's SO much $$ in it.

        The insurance companies aren't even the huge machine we need to worry about. Pharma will fight this like you wouldn't believe, and they make so much money they can throw millions into advertising against it at the drop of a hat. We'll all have to brace ourselves and hold fast.

        I would STRONGLY recommend that everyone invested in getting universal guaranteed healthcare get involved with an singe-payer advocacy org. I wrote up a list of national and state orgs here:https://medium.com/@redwoodgirl/single-payer-medicare-for-all-organizations-in-the-us-de6f26adafe9 …

        every time a dem socialist or progressive gets asked how to pay for M4A, just for fun they should answer: “how do you plan on paying for the current more expensive system while also pulling it out of 3rd world rankings and covering everyone?”

        No we wouldn’t be bankrupt. Medicare For All will save $2 trillion a year....just the rich would be out a little more money! that is a beautiful thing! Trickle down economics doesn’t work. You can’t keep your money. You have to pay taxes and a lot of them!

        I do. It’s radio and it’s entertainment. No conservative host believes everything they are saying. It’s all acting. So I as a producer I pretend that I’m one of them when I just really want to vomit on them!

        And it would save $2 Trillion over the first decade immediately following it’s implementation. I did the numbers. With that much money we could bail out the farmers 166 times and still have enough left over to pay off 41 prostitutes!! #M4A

        Actually they claim closer to 500b and nothing the government does, comes in at budget! The real number would be closer to 35-40t a decade! Would double our national budget!

        Who is "they"? At this time (per @joefirestonephd ) the US has approx $1.5T per yr in policy space -B4 inflation. Med4All costs (net) approx $750B per yr. All Congress has 2 do is vote "yes" - & then fully fund. No new tax is required.

        And don't forget the Medicare population is far older on the average than the #MFA population would be.

        Yep. And once everyone is getting healthcare, our overall costs will start going down. Our costs are high in part because many people don't get healthcare when it would be cheap to fix problems so they wait til it gets expensive. Makes me fucking crazy that people don't get that.

        Not when you are only expectIng to pay 40% of the bill, the system will implode in on itself, much like social security they will end up raising taxes until we send 50% of our paycheck just to the Feds! Want to see low wages just implement this, we already see 15% because of ss!
