.......but not as expensive as the one we have now!!
Study: "Medicare for all" plan touted by Bernie Sanders would cost $32.6 trillion
Sure, it's done by a libertarian think tank partially funded by the Koch Brothers, but it is a scholarly study. I don't doubt the program would cost somewhere in that range. Conservative sites are having a field day with this news, but they're missing a key detail....
The system we currently have is going to cost $33 trillion over 10 years!
I don't personally support single-payer. I don't think it's the best way to go in the US. BUT I have to say... two systems that cost about the same amount, but under one of them I wouldn't have to be afraid to call an ambulance because I can't afford it? Sounds enticing for sure.
