Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just watched Pelosi's interview with Joy Reid. I was disappointed about health care.
She said that medicare for all would cost 30 trillion dollars; that is over 10 years with a 20 trillion dollar economy. She didn't mention a public option.

I believe the Koch bros. funded a study that showed it would cost the govt 32 trillion over ten years; what they did not point out was that was a saving of several trillions over the current system (paid by govt and private sources)...which still leaves 10% w/o care.
