Schumer Plans To Announce The Democratic Agenda Tomorrow

Schumer Plans To Announce The Democratic Agenda Tomorrow
Frankly I think it is a mistake to interrupt the republicunts when they are fucking themselves up but they aren't going to listen to me.

Anyway, it seems as if this will be a piece of the puzzle.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/7/...7-trillion

Quote:Universal health care would save $17 trillion

The article makes the point that the money-grubbing fucks will screech about how much it will cost.  They never talk about how much it is costing us NOW.

Quote:Compared to what we’re currently spending, universal health care or single-payer health care would save us $17 trillion over 10 years.

Quote:As you can see, the amount of spending per year doesn’t stay the same. It grows on a yearly basis. So the second number we need is the growth rate. 
According to the study titled “National Healthcare Expenditures, 2016-2025: Price Increases, Aging Push Sector to 20 Percent of Economy,” health care costs in the United States are estimated to grow at an average annual rate of 5.6 percent from 2016 to 2025. 
If we apply this growth rate over 10 years, and add up the costs, our current healthcare system will cost $49 trillion
Savings
$49 trillion (current system) — $32 trillion (single payer) = $17 trillion in savings.
