Flutterby™! : Yale Study on universal health coverage

Duh: Yet another finding that the US would benefit from becoming a developed nation: Yale School of Public Health: Universal Health Coverage Could Save $1 Trillion and 114,000 Lives Every Year, Yale Study Projects

For the study, which has not yet been peer reviewed, the researchers modeled what would happen if the United States adopted a national public insurance program like the one proposed in the Medicare for All Act. Using 2024 spending, insurance coverage, and mortality data, they estimate that the universal coverage would reduce annual health expenditures by $1.04 trillion, or nearly 20% — even after accounting for the additional care that uninsured and underinsured people would receive.
