Date: May 21st, 2025 4:31 PM Author: Heil Hitler (TT6) Total Federal Cost (New Government Spending):
Estimates range from $25 trillion to $36 trillion over 10 years. CBO: ~$30–35 trillion depending on assumptions. These figures represent a shift of spending from households and employers to the federal government.
Total National Savings (Health System-Wide): Source Estimated 10-Year Savings Key Assumptions The Lancet (2020) $5.1 trillion saved Streamlined billing, lower drug prices, universal coverage Yale study (2020) $450 billion per year, or $4.5 trillion over 10 years
Net for Households
Most middle-income households would save money overall due to no premiums, no deductibles, and lower out-of-pocket costs. A typical family of four could save $2,000–$5,000 per year depending on income and current coverage. High-income households and large employers would pay more via taxes.
Bottom Line Government spends more, but households and employers spend much less, potentially leading to net national savings of up to $5 trillion over 10 years. |
