re: #99 Big Beautiful Door

I love this self own by the Koch funded Mercatus Center, which attempted to show that Medicare for all is too stupendously expensive to enact, but showed in its tables that the bill would save over $2 trillion in healthcare expenses over the first decade.

I had to point out the second part in a reply yesterday. Someone just put up “Medicare for All will cost $32 Trillion.” Most people will see that and think that’s for one year, not ten. Most people will also think that it means that they’ll be paying for that IN ADDITION to what they are currently paying. Most people will also not see that it covered everyone. And lots of people are programmed to think “government bad.” Telling them to pay that in taxes rather than to their insurance company will cause them to freak out.
