Dems’ $32 Trillion Government Health Care Takeover
Bernie Sander's Single Payer Plan
Price Tag Would Be The Equivalent To 9 Of The Top 10 World Economies Combined, ‘Patients Would Have To Accept Different Standards Of Access And Comfort’
More Democrats Embracing Bernie Sanders’ Government Health Care Takeover Plan
“Democrats are increasingly committing to support single-payer healthcare, amid … pressure from their party’s left-wing base. What was once considered only a progressive talking point has gained traction as more Democratic candidates have been willing to embrace government-funded healthcare on the campaign trail and more House members have been signing onto the idea.” (“Single-Payer Healthcare Gains Traction With Dems,” The Hill, 7/09/2017)
“Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) championed the idea … and he’ll introduce his single-payer plan once the debate over ObamaCare ends. Other senators — such as Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) … — are getting on board … Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), who faces a tough reelection in a state won by President Trump, said she’s a ‘maybe’ on Sanders’s plan but ‘anticipates’ supporting it, according to The Capital Times.” (“Single-Payer Healthcare Gains Traction With Dems,” The Hill, 7/09/2017)
Government Plan ‘Would Have An Astonishingly High Price Tag’ – ‘$32 Trillion’
THE WASHINGTON POST:“[T]he government’s price tag would be astonishing. When Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) proposed a ‘Medicare for all’ health plan in his presidential campaign, the nonpartisan Urban Institute figured that it would raise government spending by $32 trillion over 10 years, requiring a tax increase so huge that even the democratic socialist Mr. Sanders did not propose anything close to it.”(Editorial, “Single-Payer Health Care Would Have An Astonishingly High Price Tag,” The Washington Post, 6/18/2017)
It’s nearly equal to the COMBINED size of the Gross Domestic Products (GDPs) of NINE of the top ten world economies following the U.S. in 2016: China, Japan, Germany, the UK, France, India, Italy, Brazil, and Canada.(“GDP (Current US$),” The World Bank, Accessed 7/10/2017)
“The thickness of a single one dollar bills measures .0043 inches or .0000000679 miles…. The height of a stack of 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) one dollar bills measures 67,866 miles. This would reach more than one fourth the way from the earth to the moon.”(“Grasping Large Numbers,” The Endowment for Human Development, Accessed 7/10/2017)
A stack of $32 trillion worth of $1 bills would more than EIGHT TIMES the distance between the earth and the moon.
