As usual mark misquotes. The Mercatus study says M4A could cost the Fede an additional $32 trillion, NOT doing nothing.
The feds spend $1 trillion on health care. The estimate calls for $30 trillion above that.
As usual the 3 Stooges ignore that present Medicare has a $50 trillion unfunded deficit.
Medicare recipients have to pay $144 per month. They still have to pay copays, unless they get an Advantage program which is an additional premium. For an additional premium one can get a prescription plan. Dental & eyeglass aren't covered.
But somehow this will vanish under sanders.
"The feds spend $1 trillion on health care." Over what period?
"The estimate calls for $30 trillion above that." Over what period?
Tom, are you really so stupid as to think that those two numbers refer to the same time period?? Federal expenditures over ten years, even if nothing changes, will be much more than $1 trillion.
Also, you're conveniently ignoring the $35 trillion that private citizens wouldn't have to spend over those ten years. What about that, Trumper idiots? Gonna talk about costs without also talking about savings?
You poor saps can't even argue coherently. I mean, I know you're against health care (for whatever stupid reason), but you haven't told us WHY you think this country is better off without it.
