Implementing a universal, single-payer health care system would save the U.S. more than $1 trillion and some 114,000 lives every year, according to a recent Yale University analysis.
Creating Medicare for All, aka Single-Payer, aka Universal Health Care, would solve a ton of problems in America, including medical bankruptcy, healthcare tied to employment (which would also mean that employers wouldn't have to provide health insurance), incentives to turn down coverage, and chronic health problems.
We know that health insurance companies paying off Congress is why we still have health insurance as the backbone of our healthcare system, but it's time for that to end.
Our current, for-profit, system is not only expensive and counter-productive, it's immoral.
