  1. You save a lot particularly when you account for inflation on healthcare costs. GDP $3.3 trillion 2016, if the growth in healthcare inflation continues as the last 10 year pace, than what we're spending today over 10 years with healthcare inflation would be $43 trillion. So the $32 trillion is an even bigger savings than pretending nominal prices for the next 10 years under our current one. WE know we would save more, as does every other OECD country. We're being screwed by having healthcare as a non-government negotiated single payer system. Big pharma, hospital, doc and box urgent clinics that are extreme jokes of medical treatment, etc. are making a killing along with medical insurance companies. And the study actually uses 12% for overhead... medicare and medicaid consistently only spend 3% on administrative costs. So its not a optimistic view at all. Reduction to costs of 40% on pricing is what present day average of regional medical insurance negotiation. Primarily because big hospital and big pharma slap huge non-negotiated prices as big, so they can claim a big sale deal. It's similar to car companies offering $3K down after marking up their vehicles for the same amount on original price... it's not, it's a gimmick to make you feel like you're saving money. Even with the so called 40% average insurance regional negotiated discount, we're still pay nearly double of all major wealthy nations that have universal healthcare. That 40% is fluff; it's baked into medical providers initial market offer. It's just those who don't actually have any insurance really get screwed when they pay that actual 40% markup. https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm
