It's not a bit more expensive. Blahous mentioned in this report that it would cost the government at least 32 trillion extra and it would cost at least 6 trillion more overall. He said those are low ball figures and they are likely higher. No especially since it would stifle our advancement of meds, tech and medical procedures. It wouldn't end up as a net positive for everyone. In the current system, taxes are low for everyone and anyone just pays for whatever healthcare they want with no rationing. 

Social services are not supposed to be a net win for everyone. They're supposed to be a win for the lowest classes.

Btw the stifle of innovation is a great little fairy tale that's been told for centuries by wealthy businessmen to keep their taxes low and extend the wealth gap. Nice that you still believe in it.

The US is leading the way in developing new meds, tech and medical treatments so its not a fairytale if you fuck with the motivation behind all that.
