It would appear that Medicare for all would save America approximately 5 trillion dollars over 9 years. This compared to our current system. Awesome! Ok, but there is one thing being left out, quality. Many studies have rigorously studied the financial component. Most have come to a consensus that Medicare for all would cost significantly less than the status quo. In contrast, I don't see a lot of studies addressing how the quality of healthcare will change, if it does at all. Would it be better? Worse? No change? Quality is a component that we don't want to take lightly when it comes to our health. Obviously, the cost is important, but so is good healthcare, not just affordable healthcare.
However, Medicare for All would:
- Provide guaranteed health care to everyone;
But what about the quality?
- Provide access to home and community-based care for all who need it;
But what about the quality?
- Guarantee coverage for dental, vision and hearing services;
But what about the quality?
- End medical debt and medical bankruptcies;
But what about the quality?
- Reduce administrative waste by $500 billion per year;
But what about the quality?
End price gouging by pharmaceutical companies;
But what about the quality?
- Put an end to corporations profiting off the sick.
But what about the quality?
- A recent study by Yale epidemiologists found that Medicare for All would save around 68,000 lives a year while reducing U.S. health care spending by around 13%, or $450 billion a year.
- Medicare for All spending would be approximately $37.8 trillion between 2017 and 2026, according to a study by the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. That amounts to about $5 trillion in savings over that time. These savings would come from reducing administrative costs and allowing the government to negotiate prescription drug prices.
- Other studies by think tanks and government agencies have analyzed single-payer proposals at the state and federal levels. Most found Medicare for All would reduce our total health care spending.
- Even a study by the Koch-funded Mercatus Center found that Medicare for All would save around $2 trillion over a 10-year period.
