The highest estimated cost by the OBM for universal healthcare in the US is $290B.
Just gonna leave that here.
and it can be taken out of the overbloated defense budget too, and they still have more than enough for thier big guns and toys.
So less then what we pay now? Or am I reading this wrong.
Some estimates by the OBM actually saved taxpayers money.
You are correct, even the absolute highest estimates for universal healthcare are still notably lower than what we pay now. The real number would be drastically lower though.
Yeah, it objectively has to be far, far less. Tax payers directly funding health providers would destroy a great amount of the demand for such a massive private health insurance industry, which is why we pay so much in the first place.
