Here's mine. Global healthcare spending is currently $8 trillion per year, projected to rise to $10 trillion in 2022.

US healthcare expenditure is a fraction of the global total.
Certainly a large portion of taxes to fund single-payer would be offset by reduction of payments to private insurers.
- rukittenme 7y agoIt's $30 trillion over 10 years (according to CBO).
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoSo if global healthcare is $8-10 trillion/year, and US Medicare-for-all would be $3 trillion/year, then US Medicare-for-all would still be insanely expensive compared to the rest of the world.
- rukittenme 7y agoYes. Cost does not change with provider.
