Speaking of spending like drunken sailors on healthcare, this week saw some hilarious fist fights over a report from the Mercatus Center, a libertarian think tank at George Mason University, that pearl-clutched over Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill in the Senate, exclaiming that Sanders’ plan would increase US healthcare spending by THIRTY TWO TRILLION DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS. Oh, the humanity!! But … wait a minute. We’re spending close to three and a half trillion a year right now, with costs predicted to increase in the next ten years by an average of 5.5% a year. Back of the napkin, simple arithmetic, that means that we’ll be spending close to FIFTY FIVE TRILLION bucks on healthcare in the next ten years with our current status quo payment model. So Bernie’s Big Idea looks like it could SAVE us almost TWENTY TRILLION BUCKS! And everybody would be covered. So … LET’S DOOOOO EEEEET! Oh, right, that’s a terrible idea. ‘Cause helping every American person be as healthy as possible is just a shitty idea, right? ‘Merica! It’s a wonderful country! Just don’t get sick!
