According to analysis by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Bernie Sanders' plan for Medicare For All would cost $32.6 Trillion dollars over the first 10 years.
Now that more and more mainstream democrats are supporting Bernie Sanders' single payer healthcare proposals including; Tammy Baldwin (Wis), Kamala Harris (CA), Cory Booker (NJ) and Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), to name a few, it may be past time to ask them how they expect to pay for such a monumental government project.
Hopefully they won't take MSNBC commentator's Chris Hayes Suggestion that we simply pass the bill and figure out how to pay for it later.
I think a good answer for "How will you pay for your agenda?" is "We're a very rich country. We'll figure it out."— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) July 27, 2018
That is the type of reckless legislation that has turned the once relatively wealthy nations, such as Venezuela into the proverbial dumpster fire that we see today. Given that the US is over $21 Trillion in debt already it would be practically criminal to pass legislation encumbering ourselves with dozens more trillions dollars in debt with no feasible way to pay for it.
