Let's get it straight...
Government criminalizes the unlicensed trade and practice of medicine and prices go .... UP!
Government granted monopoly shuts down medical schools, creating a shortage of physicians, and prices go .... UP!
Government corrupts the money system with worthless notes and counterfeit fractional coin causing prices to go ... UP!
Government authorizes underwriters / insurers to skim even more from the overcharged patient, who now must support a legion of clerks, form fillers, and bureaucrats causing prices to go .... UP!
And now, we're to believe that letting government take over healthcare - akin to the power over life and death - as a remedy for all past meddling by government.
In an era where Medicare-for-All is now overwhelmingly popular amongst the general populace, a new study shows that the US would see significant savings from implementing such a system, in addition to improving the economy and well-being/mental health.
Bull****. You have no idea what the study says, and neither do we. Your article doesn't link to it, and we must presume that our intuition is correct: Medicare for all would be a financial catastrophe.

"What fools these Merikans be!"
Good try, but you left out the biggest cause: Government imposes wage freeze during World War II, so employers give employees health insurance instead of pay raises so that the payer is no longer the patient.
...according to the report, even doubling all currently projected federal individual and corporate income tax collections would be “insufficient” to finance the costs of Medicare-for-All.
Do people realize that folks paid for years to get the benefit and that there are not insignificant monthly premiums per person (no family rate), deductibles and copayments - I think many younger folk think Medicare has relatively little out of pocket costs, which is only true if pay more for additional coverage. It is also essentially a socialistic tax because if you make more, you are required to pay more. This potentially could also be a big break for businesses as costs for medical coverage shifts to workers from employers.

If you were to experience a freak health crisis (and they do/can happen, no one's invincible), you won't have to worry about suddenly having to cough up tens of thousands of dollars to pay off the high deductible and premiums to cover your medical costs.
It works just like car insurance. It's a very low chance that you'll ever get into accident, but if/when you do, the insurance exists to cover the damage and even help you buy a new car if it's totaled. It also covers you if, heaven forbid, you're at fault in the accident and the other car owner comes after you for reimbursement.
and health INSURANCE was never intended to cover every sniffle you think you have
. the whole problem is insurance (both governmental and private)..
why should you EXPECT some entity (or someone else) to pay YOUR BILL
I can open up the yellow pages and look up ANY doctor and make an appointment...and be seen...but like any other service they expect to be paid
when your car needs a tube up, or an annual inspection (exam)..do you call your auto insurance to file a claim....nope
when your house needs a new washer, or a paint job or new windows......do you call your home owners insurance to file a claim....nope
the WHOLE problem is the entitlement mentality, they YOU..yes YOU..EXPECT some one else to pay you bill
You can say "lie" all you want, it doesn't make what I said factually incorrect.
I repeat, no one that's currently advocating for Medicare-for-All is saying it's free.
ok.... so where are te supporters going to get the nearly 4 trillion ANNUALLY of NEW BUDGET COSTS...keep in mind it will cost more than our current revenue
how are "they" going to double the revenue overnight
when asked about they cost and when the magical unicorn money tree is going to come from...the fascist liberals clam up and rrun
The vast majority would never afford long term oncology or even a major surgery such as a heart bypass. So should they just die?
guess you are against negotiating payments???
you would rather be stuck with a 32k yearly tax bill....
