“But it would benefit the wage slaves at our expenses. Can’t have that.”
Yes but think of all the poor execs who won’t be able to afford their new family yacht, or buy their teenager that Aston Martin they really want.
For goodness it’s Christmas, think of the families. /s
Almost 5 years old and over 300,000 preventable deaths later.
That’s $450B less for existing billionaire to earn.
“But some poor person who didn’t *earn* the right to live might benefit from it. I’d rather we get nothing so they get nothing as well.” – Some deeply stupid bucket crab
But what about the health insurance executives? Wont someone think of their bonuses?
And how many YEARS has Bernie Sanders been beating this drum, and many thousands of lives could have been saved in the interim?
“We choose systemic mass corporate homicide.” – The Rich
Yeah but then companies would have to find another means of retaining their employees, like pay raises that match or exceed cost of living. Why mess up something so good as, “if you quit we’ll drop you and your family’s medical insurance that is literally keeping them alive.”
Single payer NOW !
It costs nothing to dial up your Congress members and demand they pass universal healthcare. You will be talking to a staffer. They just take down your message. You can even call after office hours and leave a message.
Usa.gov/elected-officials has the list
“We can’t let anyone undeserving ever have anything they didn’t earn!”
This isn’t a “new” study. It’s been known for decades, yet the lobbyists have fought successfully against it for those decades.
But the executives’ third vacation home… 🙁
You shouldn’t need to do studies for this, there are live case studies ongoing in every other developed nation on earth.
But I thought the GQP said that it would “cOsT tRiLlIoNs AnD bAnKrUpT uS”?
Have more children is their answer, instead of saving the sick ones.
68,001
Pretty sure it would save more than 68,000 👀
*68,001
The time to demand it is now…
But rich people would be still rich, just not quite as rich!
It’s a win even if the savings are quarter/half of that number.
68,000 seems like a very low estimate. It would also reduce an enormous amount of human suffering related to delayed treatment or medical bankruptcies
Will nobody think of the shareholders??? 😭😭😭
Medicare for All would be a disaster, We would lose all those wonderful campaign contributions, and PAC money that the for-profit healthcare industry makes. It would be a political disaster.
/S
Looks like that’s 4 years old. Let’s try again in another 4 years
Appears a lot of eyes continue to be closed
Won’t somebody think of the billionaires?!
But then how would our corporate overlords earn 450 billion??!! I just wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I knew the 1% struggled to afford their additional luxury yacht or vacation home!
That $450 Billion is their profit. How likely is an insurance company to say, wow, if Medicare for All can save Americans $450 Billion per year, let’s go for it!
Yall left out the bit where medicare for all costs the rich billions in opportunity cost
You can get there, one CEO at a time!
Take THAT Doge department
BAH! SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA! LET THEM DIE IN DROVES!
— assholes
But would it benefit The wealthy? Pretty important question you didn’t consider, op.
Psssst. Logic will get you no where. Welcome to the machine.
The US government spends more per capita on healthcare than any nation with free universal healthcare. We could have it right now for nothing extra, but health insurance companies would go out of business and healthcare profits would plummet, which are two more good reasons to do it.
Wrong! It would decrease earnings by 450 billion.
Yep.
But why would the GOP and The Felon want to actually help people?
Oh really? Would, what lik 90% of the rest of the world is doing, be beneficiary? Who would’ve thought?
Yeah but the elite want that 450 billion… so fucking die peasant
Think of all those poor souls in management who can’t afford multimillion bonuses every year. 😭
