Exactly.
150 million families covered by employer and personal health care today costs each about 20k per year. That’s about 3.2 trillion dollars. And those folks have good health insurance.
If the government ends private health care and takes it over, they are NOT going to spend that amount. They’ll take 4 trillion but spend maybe 1 trillion and tell every formerly covered person in America to get lost and die. (The other 3 trillion will go to crony projects and crony people)
That is what socialists do. They kill you off.
I don’t see “single payer” costing more ‘in toto’ than what we are as a nation are paying now, it is more a question of quality not cost.
