"but taxes would go up!" ok but premiums would go down even more

I see lots of mentions of the cost of Medicare for All. But, it actually wouldn't necessarily increase health spending, and could actually decrease it. What it would do -- which would be controversial -- is redistribute health care spending from premiums and out-of-pocket costs to taxes.

Yea and the dems, particularly Bernie, did a piss-poor job of communicating this. Abdul now the same way. They need to hammer this home. That increasing taxes by 100 dollars a month for M4A is better when you ENTIRELY ELIMINATE your co-pays and 250 dollar a month premium.
