...rather than COSTING a dime.

Single Payer will take us from spending 18% of GDP to spending 12-13% of GDP
while also:

1. covering everyone,
2. eliminating premiums
3. eliminating copays
4. eliminating deductibles

How? By eliminating the ZERO value-add of the "middleman" insurance industry
AND all the red-tape they cause to providers (like needing 2 billing people for every doctor).

From Bernie's FB:

It’s time to join every other major nation and guarantee health care to all as a right, not a privilege. That's why my ‪#‎MedicareForAll‬ plan provides health care to ALL Americans, including the 50 million uninsured or Underinsured—the only plan that does that.

Medicare-for-All means no more copays, no more deductibles and no more fighting with insurance companies when they fail to pay for charges. Which means a family making $50,000 would save $5,807 a year under my #MedicareForAll plan.

NOTE: the $5807 savings if the difference between the new tax, and the elimination of premiums/copays/deductibles. And these numbers are from an outside source, not pulled out of anyone's nether-regions.
