We’re also not happy with the status quo, and we shouldn’t be, since Americans pay the most for health care and generally get the worst outcomes among advanced nations.
Wow, sounds like something to brag about.
while eliminating all their spending on health care, it would still amount to a net savings for businesses.
Is that what you’re talking about?
American businesses, now the biggest source of health care coverage in the United States, could completely exit the business of providing health care, if national or even statewide single-payer coverage ever takes root. That could make American firms more competitive globally and leave a lot more money for employee raises and other benefits.
Or maybe it’s this?
The United States is the only advanced economy where employers are the primary source of health care. Famed investor Warren Buffett has called employer-provided health care the “tapeworm of American competitiveness,” because it forces American firms to bear a costly bureaucratic burden their foreign competitors don’t have to deal with.
Say it ain’t so.
On the whole, the Blahous analysis finds that total health spending would actually decline under the Sanders plan,
And what is that headline on Yahoo Finance that says it would save about 2 trillion.
Individual taxpayers are the biggest source of federal tax revenue,
Is this the only way to procure taxes?
On the whole, overall health spending would decline slightly, even as more people got access to care. Rand estimates that net health care costs, including new taxes, would fall for 90% of the state’s residents, while they’d rise for the top 10% of earners.
My heart just bleeds for the top 10%. Doesn’t yours?
