As initially reported in the Koch Brothers' sponsored study, Medicare for All would cost 32.6 trillion dollars over the next ten years.
But buried in the report, the net savings over what we are paying for health care now, even considering the inflated figures by the Koch study:
Matt Bruenig of the People's Policy Project notes that though absent or buried in much of the initial reporting—even
the Koch brothers' numbers, which Bernie Sanders says are vastly inflated,
demonstrate that the "U.S. could insure 30 million more Americans and
virtually eliminate out-of-pocket healthcare expenses" while saving "a whopping $2 trillion" in the process.
More lies to keep the haves having and the have-nots without.
