We're Already Spending Trillions on Health Care

“We have our doubts about Medicare for All. But unaffordability is not a reason to oppose it. Whether it’s our current arrangement or a future Medicare for All, the per capita cost of our health care system already far exceeds that of any other industrialized country — including those with single-payer systems. When you hear a health care price tag in the trillions, know that the existing system has already brought us there.”  -  Ezekiel J. Emanuel - Oncologist and a vice provost at the University of Pennsylvania & Victor R. Fuchs - an emeritus professor of economics at Stanford University and former president of the American Economics Association
