It’s not about him looking bad to democrats it’s about Trump making himself look bad to independents in the next election cycle

Estimates are that total healthcare spending will go from 5.3 trillion to around 4.7 trillion. US government spending will go up around 3 trillion though since it’s single payer healthcare:

I don’t have an accounting sheet on me of course but yeah this is just kinda what experts have said. Here is one Yale public health estimate https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/universal-health-coverage-could-save-one-trillion-dollars-and-114000-lives-every-year/

That’s the news article of course ^ The study is still in peer review but went into preprint in July. It uses a Medicare for all system

Well Yale has an agenda. Anyways the government that actually has to fund it says no it’ll require more taxes and that’s when independent support wanes since even if you’d illegally seize every last dollar from every billionaire, there’s still be a shortfall that requires taxing the middle-class. Not to mention Medicare for all doesn’t suddenly give the healthcare system the tools it needs to function better; it’s not insurance that’s a roadblock. It’s a lack of doctors bc tuition like from Yale

It doesn’t instantly do that correct It will take months or years to negotiate cheaper pharmaceutical prices, avoiding fraudulent billing, and health benefits. Ultimately people using the healthcare system more will HELP us since if you get treated early you spend less money than going to ER
