    I love the sentiment but want to make sure it’s understood that M4A would cost less, not more, than what we have today. The US government already spends more per citizen on healthcare than most governments with universal programs. The money just doesn’t go to healthcare, it pays for profits and unnecessary overhead (like CEO salaries) at insurance companies, physician networks, hospitals, and medical suppliers.

        “Per citizen” doesn’t imply that the money ia going to each citizens. It nust means “total spent divided by the number of citizens”.
