        Currently 3.3 trillion annually, projection is 5.7 annually in ten years. So Medicare for all would be a lot less money (projected at 3.26 trillion annually)

        That’s the 10 year estimated cost.

        If big tax breaks hadn’t been given to the top 1%, we could afford Medicare for all!

        Trump tax cut costs $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years. Medicare for all would cost $32 trillion. Even if you reverse the tax cut, your still a little short there.

        Our current system would cost more, so thanks for proving that Medicare for All is an economically sound idea, @Forbes

        If it is economical sound then Why is it in its current form going bankrupt for the small population that it does cover.

        Don’t spread misinformation! The money we now pay to ins. Co.s would simply go into the Federal Pot without siphoning off $ by middlemen. We’d save billions!

        Yes 37 Billion for free medical care, lower cost prescriptions, eye care, dental care. Leaving things how they are now? 59 Billion for the same time period.
