>>21283613This is precisely why its never going to work. 10 year estimated cost of medicare for all (not even singlepayer, medicare has both deductibles and coverage gaps after a certain threshold) has been estimated to cost between 32 and 34 trillion dollars according to both the urban institute (left leaning think tank) and the mercatus center (libertarian leaning think tank)
the entire federal budget for 2023 was 6.13 trillion, 1.7 trillion of which was deficit spending. You would need to increase tax revenues nearly 80% to pay for it.
America simply does not have the demographics to make single payer work and it never will
