The Koch brothers ran a study to try to discredit medicare for all. Their conclusion of the study? "Medicare for all would cost us 30 trillion over the next decade!" (I made that specific number up as I do not remember the actual cost). They then ran tv ads and right wing news outlets ran with it. What did they not mention that their very study concluded in black and white? Our current system will cost 34 trillion over the next 10 years. Don't let facts get in the way of a good talking point though am I right?

You're about right:

Bernie’s "Medicare for All" predicted to cost nearly $33 trillion

$4 Trillion in savings is nothing to scoff at. Thank god we have level headed, rational, fiscally responsible conservatives to make these sort of bold moves, and pass the savings on to average Joe.

That was a great thread discussion you linked to, Falcon.

Wow... imagine how many wars we could fund with that kind of dough!

That's how you sell Medicare for All to conservatives.
