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!
Yeah at this rate I think the US would rather collapse than have free healthcare
US would rather Balkanize
That saving 1T in costs would be 1T not being sent to the pockets of oligarchs so this won’t happen.
yeah, this fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of healthcare in the US. the point is to extract money, any health or care that happens is incidental.
Yes, but at what cost?
Apparently about a trillion dollars
Yeah, but have you thought about the poor insurance bureaucrats? What about their jobs?
“we have to unionize and regulate the insurance companies so that americans can finally pay a flat, market rate for their healthcare”
Nah, let’s keep giving weapons to Israel!
this would let us send more weapons to Israel!
edit: and I guess some people, too
edit2: I assumed it was obvious I am not endorsing this, but I guess you never know
Americans still trapped in 2016
