What part of "by 32 trillion" don't some people understand? That's 32 trillion more in taxes to the middle class and rich. The 2 trillion reduction in national health expenditure over ten years is wrong because it's based on Bernie's assumption that we can lower all payment rates to medicare payment rates. Blahous pointed out that can't be achieved. It would actually increase the NHE by 6 trillion. Other studies have similar numbers. |
Yeah, and that's absolutely ridiculous. With any Universal Healthcare system, price controls would also come into play. As such, the costs would go down significantly.
Even so, does it matter if the cost for something is paid through taxes or directly from your pocketbook? It still ends up being paid. And, if other countries' experiences are to be believed, you'd end up paying less than half of what you are now.
