Does anyone know of the exact savings of Single-Payer?
   
I know it would save the country tons of money each year, but I'd like to get a good estimate as to how much we would save. The United States spends 16% of its GDP on health care services which is 2.345 trillion dollars. Also, when costs would go down, where would the money go from that 2.345 trillion dollars in health spending?

How in the hell would the federal govt paying for everyone to see a doctor save money?
Must be that DUmmy math or something.

The only way I can see it working that way is the govt forcing doctors, nurses etc to have to accept payment far below market values, and instead of surgery just giving grandma a pain pill.
Even then when every DUmmy goes to the ER for every hang nail so they can score loritab costs would skyrocket.

It saves 12 unicorn farts and 7 white light healing hands each and every year.  In terms of dollars it will cost about $1 trillion each year. Do you want to save those unicorn farts or are you just a stupid knuckle dragging racist?

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Yes I do Dumbass. None, nada, zip, zilch. Everything the government touches ends up costing way more than originally projected.

Next question, Dummy?

Ding, ding, ding!  We have a winner.   These are the same DUmmies that don't understand that taking $500 billion from Medicare to fund $500 billion worth of ObamaCare is the SAME money.

In other words, zero, DUmbass.
Less than zero.
It will cost you in more ways than you can imagine.
Here, DUmbass, take this mallet, take Obamacare, find a cat.
Some assembly required.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
