    More of both than it would take to keep medicare, medicaid and social security solvent in perpetuity.

      universal healthcare would be cheaper than what we pay now.

      but both conservatives and democrats dont want universal healthcare… now go figure out why

        I WAS actually going to say “more than the transition to universal single payer healthcare would cost, after which it would be cheaper than the current system of paying trillions to private insurers for denying as much care as they possibly can”, but I could come up with a concise with better punctuation way of saying it 😁

          i like to put it this way and have people try and make it not sound terrible:

          health insurance profits only come at the expense of human suffering.

          repeat it. shout it. because its the truth no one wants to say out loud.
