Yale study: Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year

A new study from Yale shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1T every year. Savings would come from reductions in administrative overhead, lower drug prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergencies. What are we doing instead? Killing people.

Medicare for All: not only is it the right thing to do, it’s fiscally conservative. There are only two reasons why politicians would want to obstruct this: either they’re beholden to the special interests who’d lose their ill-gotten gains, or they trade in racially-motivated spite.

And that 1 trillion a year is why the right will do everything they can to stop it form happening. A lot of that money makes its way into their pockets. And they don't care about saving lives.

Any 2028 candidate not pushing Medicare for All will be a loser.

"Establishment Democrats don’t seem to understand the magnitude of the threat we’re facing... "Ninety percent of Democrats support Medicare for All... yet you don’t hear establishment leaders like Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries championing it." open.substack.com/pub/marytrum...

New Study Confirms Medicare for All Would Save 114,000 Lives and more than $1 Trillion a Year www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releas...

Sooooo....this is ANOTHER Yale study, like the one from 8 years ago (?) that showed the average American household would save $2.2k per year and 68000 lives would be saved every year if we had Medicare for All.

Studies show that offering Medicare for all would save lives AND MONEY. (you know- that thing Trump thinks grows on trees when he wants to dip something in gold) But only communists do what scientists and economists say will work. Real patriots just make sh*t up!

The big insurance companies are trying to stop Medicare for All.

"Earlier this year, Third Way published a memo attacking Medicare for All ... The memo does not mention research showing that a Medicare for All system would cost less than the status quo, while providing comprehensive universal health coverage and saving tens of thousands of lives per year."

we need medicare for all, it's not a radical idea unlike ignoring our physical and mental health because it's too expensive

Savings: $377.5 billion by paying ​other nations' Rx prices; $286.3 billion by cutting red tape; $285.7 billion by curbing fraudulent billing; $100 billion by preventing costly ER and hospital visits; and $295.6 billion by ​paying all providers #Medicare rates. www.commondreams.org/news/medicar...

If Medicare for All could save more than $1 trillion a year while preventing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, perhaps the question isn’t whether we can afford it—but why we continue to tolerate a system that costs more and delivers less. #M4A www.commondreams.org/news/medicar...
