saves us even more than I estimated based on what I was reading. $1,600 more a year than I estimated.

$5600 savings

$1571.

Ooooooooo. Scary.

But think about all the extra taxes I'll have to pay when I no longer have an HSA!!!!

Less than 15K income and current medicare premiums of $130 per month?

I was wondering more what my payments would be...it looks like people with more income but not yet on SS might wind up paying nothing. I thought that If that applied equally it might be a windfall for SS recipients...

We'd save over 3,000. Our employer a little over 5,000


I'd love this

eta: You gotta post this everywhere...

The net savings from single payer come from reduced spending on administrative activities, in both
private insurers and providers’ offices, reduced spending on monopoly prices for pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and a slowdown in the growth of spending because of controls on administrative costs and drug prices. While these savings come to over $10 trillion in 10 years, they are offset by increased spending because of the extension of coverage to the uninsured and increases in utilization with the removal of copayments and deductibles.

Under Bernie's healthcare plan, an estimated 27% of households will pay $0 in healthcare premiums, 68% pay less than $100/month, and 91% pay less than $250/month. Plus, if you get sick or injured, NO copayment at the doctor, NO deductibles for treatments. Let's get out there and make this a reality!

Alright folks. Under Bernie's plan, there's a new payroll tax set at 2.2% of household income above $28800. My income percentiles came from 2014 census data found here.

But we have several very strong factors on our side.

1. The enormous savings are undeniable.

2. The entire rest of the developed world is already enjoying these savings.

3. The status quo, even with the ACA, is unsustainable. It is killing and bankrupting people every day.

It's amazing.
