The claim that Medicare for All is prohibitively expensive is a common myth. Consider these two scenarios:

• For those with employer-sponsored insurance:  The funds employers currently spend on healthcare would be redirected to employees, who would already be covered under M4A. These individuals would pay a portion of this amount as healthcare tax. (Many overlook that the new healthcare tax would replace the existing employer contributions for healthcare coverage.)
• For those currently uninsured: Due to economies of scale and reduced administrative costs, M4A can save a significant amount of money. This savings would be more than sufficient to cover uninsured individuals.

When evaluating M4A, the focus shouldn't be solely on government spending but on total healthcare spending.

The U.S. currently spends roughly twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other developed country. We can fund M4A with this substantial expenditure without needing to increase it.
