Obviously your numbers are fake.
Numbers are based on medicare-for-all, excluding medicaid and VA.

Budget is $4.2 trillion overall.
Medicare costs $630 billion, it covers 14% of the population.
Run the numbers.

The oldest and sickest 14% of the population.

Surely you, a doctor, don't think that the average annual health cost for a 70yo is equivalent to the average annual health cost for a 30yo.

Please stop trying to scare the laypeople with this shite. You should know better.

So you are suggesting that Medicare recipients are similar per capita to the remaining 85% that are not covered by Medicare? If so do you remotely think this is accurate?
