    False equivalence. M4A would cost, by itself, as much as the *entire* current federal budget - healthcare, wars, education, everything. *Every* year. FOREVER. It's designed to require no reauthorization & destroy all the alternatives, so as to make it impossible to ever repeal.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1217282049159069696 …

    Not many people know this, but Medicare-for-all is the only thing that costs money. Keeping a military presence in central Asia is actually free, thanks to a bunch of coupons the Pentagon cut out in the 70s.

        And having the defense industry and military facilities spread out all across the country is similar, if not identical in impact.

        We already spend this much on healthcare annually, baseball dingus.

        You see, when people are paying out of pocket and going bankrupt for it that doesn’t count, but when you move that funding to the government (and reduce it by eliminating admin. costs) then our healthcare system is unsustainable.

        His point would be better if there weren’t lots of people who also don’t want to pay for the second thing

        Focusing on the source of payment is disingenuous. We are *already paying* more than M4A would cost, just in the form of premiums, copays, deductibles, etc. M4A will cost less, cover more people, and cover more things. It is objectively better in every way.

        For the cost, how are you arriving at that conclusion? I'm not arguing with you as much as I just want to know where that's coming from.
