| Subject: The Left has a plan — let's pay $7 trillion more for healthcare without any improvement in care Thu Oct 17, 2019 8:27 pm | |
| From the 2020 Democratic candidates’ discussion of healthcare in their Oct. 15 debate, one receives the impression that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All, as it is inaptly named, is not only practical but in fact the best and most cost-effective way to finance healthcare. Not only will it insure more people, but it will reduce costs, making it vastly superior to the system we have now. Unfortunately, none of this is true. A new analysis from a liberal think tank demonstrates that Medicare for All would stick taxpayers not only with a higher tax burden but also with higher overall medical costs. Last year, a study from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University pegged the price of Medicare for All at $33 trillion over 10 years. Even that eye-popping total required the generous assumption that providers would simply accept a gigantic pay cut without resistance.
