Slash the over bloated military budget in half, for starters.
The costs of not implementing this strategy are clear. Failure to meet our defense objectives will result in decreasing U.S. global influence, eroding cohesion among allies and partners, and reduced access to markets that will contribute to a decline in our prosperity and standard of living.
If you don't understand how your economy works, and obviously you don't, you need to learn.

You have no evidence to support that claim.
And you were unable to refute their numbers.

Its absolutely meaningless to label something as left wing just because Wall Street democrats support them. They are not interested in a national health care system. It would destroy their power.
The Urban Institute was initiated by President Lyndon Johnson, and funded entirely by tax-payer money until Reagan cut their funding by about half.
Kermit Gordon, McGeorge Bundy, Irwin Miller, Arjay Miller, Richard Neustadt, Cyrus Vance, and Robert McNamara are all Liberals.

Are you sure because medicare wasn't in existence until 1965
Correct, there was no medicare or medicaid decades ago, however, in the early 1900s, in the 30s-40s there were organizations and cabinet members from various presidencies, well placed members of our nation who were pushing for some kind of universal care for all. Instead, what we ended up with were several compromises consisting of a multi-layered mess that costs us much more with lesser results.
Liberals love free stuff paid for by the evil privileged white male middle class.
Not free. Paid for by a payroll tax
employer portion equal to whatever the median percent paid for health insurance as a part of payroll is today. IIRC around 8%
employee portion equal.
No more back billing
A hospital room shall include all the tylenol, gauze. and saline you can consume. Rare medicine still charged.
If you are in an in network facility you take their network.
say a 25/50 general/specialist dollar copay and pay half until a 2500 individual /5000 family individual deductible
No more "oops we miscoded that" by insurance companies
No more million dollar bills.
No more Billy Tauzin law.
