its not a serious paper Brad, @sciam and I'll tell you why in one single paragraph. A 2003 paper about the chaotic first 2 years transition of Tawain's paper based HC system to Single Payer, which suggested that Tawain eliminated fraud and cut 8% of HC costs. The Yale paper decided that they could apply the same 8% to the cost of HC in the USA and save $265b in a transition to M4A. $265B, Thats more than the cost of HC at the VA, Tricare and DOD combined. That's about 1/3 of the Defense budget. Unserious. We need to change HC in this country. It's a clusterfuck. The last thing we need is politicians, on either side, spewing nonsense to create headlines and talking points. Does anyone ever read these papers ? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.22.26358689v1.full.pdf And if you got this far, it assumes that all hospitals, Mayo Clinic, Stanford, etc, etc, will be able to change to Medicare rates and make it up in administrative savings and bad debt. As if all hospitals are the same. Sure.(Mark Cuban)
