'Every. Single. One.': Ocasio-Cortez Notes Every Democrat Who Backed Medicare for All Won Reelection

46. their version of MFA is not like the current Medicare programme. There would be no, or if any, then

extremely low premiums and co-pays. They just borrowed the Medicare name as a marketing ploy.

In terms of cost, the current system (with the ACA) is estimated to have a total cost for all healthcare and pharma expenditure over the next 10 years of around 55-60 trillion, which is less than all studies so far of what MFA would cost. Now that the ACA is likely going to binned, that 55-60 trillion figure will more than likely increase.

Now, I am NOT saying that MFA will pass anytime in the next 15, 20 years, if ever. In fact I was one of the few who said that the Public Option would not pass, even if we had a 52-48, 53-47, or even a 54-46 Senate MAJORITY (which of course we will not, it will take the election of the century to just draw even in the two runoffs in GA). Too many forces aligned against it. Trillions upon trillion in profits at stake over the next 20 years.
