A new study has found that Medicare for All would save over 100,000 lives in the U.S. per year while also reducing Americans’ health care spending by more than $1 trillion annually. Yale University and University of Maryland researchers have estimated that the universal single payer health care system introduced in the Medicare for All Act would prevent 114,000 deaths per year.

    The deaths help cull the weaker and least productive members of the herd first, improving the overall shareholder value production capabilities of it as whole (higher average productivity + lower expenses taking care of most expensive and non-productive members such as the eldery = higher herd profitability), and the extra 7% of GDP going to Healthcare in comparison with countries with Universal Healthcare (14% vs 7%) means a much bigger cake for the Owner Class to take slices from.

    So win, win for the rich and a great ROI for the money they spend buying politicians.

    It all makes perfect sense if one’s a sociopath.
