“This study confirms what we have known for years: Medicare for All saves lives and saves money,” said Bernie Sanders.

A new study has found that Medicare for All would save over 100,000 lives in the U.S. per year while also reducing Americans’ health care spending by more than $1 trillion annually. Yale University and University of Maryland researchers have estimated that the universal single payer health care system introduced in the Medicare for All Act would prevent 114,000 deaths per year.

    So… you’re saying that Medicare for All would remove $1T from the economy? Can’t have that now, can we?

      Nah, it’d be put back into the hands of people actually doing the work, as opposed to the billionaire CEOs.
