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.

    If you’ve got a fence sitting liberal in your life show them this study and explain to them the Marxist analysis that this money and these deaths are the cost of doing things the capitalist way

    Try and reframe it in their minds. It is not that universal healthcare would save money and lives (a hypothetical): capitalism is killing people and charging us for it!
