But sure, y'all keep proselytizing someone who doesn't even have a 4th grade social studies understanding of the position she was elected for. Please (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Does anyone know how much it would actually cost to implement Medicare for all? It’s gotta be in the trillions. Then again so is the F-35 program when it’s all said and done. 1.5 trillion or so for the F-35. But that’s spread over the next 50 or so years. I’m not against UHC. I’m just curious what it would cost. Something tells me it could be afforded if we had the National will for it. I’ve always been a fan of passing laws and regulations that make health insurance not for profit, and heavily (completely, probably.) subsidize the costs for people with less or no income and charge reasonable prices for everyone else. I don’t know how the gently caress you can reform Medicine costs from the pharmaceutical industry. There’s so many facets to the healthcare problem, I have the hardest time imagining congress fixing healthcare in my lifetime. My bet is that it’ll be a lot like weed is now, some states have good reasonable laws and regulations, others are bullshit. So red states will probably continue to shoot themselves in the foot and blue states will have different laws and access to healthcare. Just look at how hard it was to get the ACA through a Dem controlled congress and White House. How in the wide world of gently caress are we ever gonna have universal healthcare? I wish AOC the best of luck in congress, she’ll hopefully go on to do really good things. Getting Medicare for all, however, or any UHC proposal for that matter seems impossible. Would love to be proven completely wrong by congress, but who are we kidding?

IIRC a libertarian thinktank did the math recently and Fox and all the conservative sites were using their study to say "UHC will cost $XX trillion!!!" while neglecting to say that even according to the libertarians it would save an enormous amount of money when compared to keeping our current system. So yeah it's gonna cost a loving enormous amount of money but keeping our current system is going to cost that x2-3 while bankrupting tons of people or just letting them die.

the only reason it's not on the table is some people would be slightly less rich if M4A was passed. thats it.

I think on the low end there was an estimate that was around 1.3t, high end around 3.2t over 10 years. Depends on who is conducting the study and what changes come along with it - IIRC the high end estimate was just 'boom, everyone has Medicare' with no corresponding reforms. Any realistic M4A package is going to have pharma reform baked in to offset costs along with a significant amount of tax hikes for the ultra wealthy. Make no mistake, it's gonna be expensive, but nothing outrageous compared to other poo poo we've spent money on.

True, but who the gently caress benefits from an F35 when its all said and done? I feel we'd get more economic utility out of 1.5 trillion given to hospitals to treat poors than 1.5 trillion given to Boeing. edit: Probably get more economic utility out of just giving everyone in this forum a piece of 1.5 trillion and tell us to have fun with it.

Vasudus posted:She's saying it should. TBF, it's the first time I've heard it brought up, since most people are just talking about extending the current Medicare program to cover people under retirement age. Not that it's a bad idea, but it would completely throw any cost projections out the window.
