The left needs to be careful to not spread disinformation. We have enough of that already.
So, you didn't actually read the article? For starters, this thread is about a typically conservative leaning group doing a study backing that information up. Where you're getting that its liberals being dishonest, I don't know. I hate to sound like a typical conservative (or modern just general dumbfuck bitching about the media), but if you're gonna cop that, you'd better provide something of substance more than that video (seriously, I expected it to just nail several points and that's why it was so short, instead it was almost half over before it even got to refuting the claim, and then it just says that its optimistic that costs will be reduced by that amount and that demand will only go up by that amount, while not providing anything to dispute those figures, and then acts like it costing money to implement means they're lying about it saving money that Americans spend on health care - when the point is that the total amount, be it private and/or public, would be less by implementing a fully public funded system). I don't think it addressed the study that is the topic of the article that this thread is about, at all (I think its just about Sander's original claim, this study actually...er studied it by seeing if those things held up, its more in depth than just doing some simple addition/subtraction of a few numbers).
And that's just for 10 years from 2022-2031. I would think that getting more people access to health care would likely help longer term in reducing costs, as it would likely lead to earlier diagnosis of severe problems (the old, ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure).
I agree about being careful to not spread disinformation, and by all means, support that this is or realize that you're doing exactly what you're chastising others for.
