"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.

"Employee benefits" are one of the most insidious shell games ever invented, hiding people's outrageous premiums under invisible wage decreases. You pay higher taxes but literally earn more money!
