Edwards says his plan will take another $ 160 B. a year to buttress up Medicaid. money is money. Under Single payer, we'd have a net reduction of costs. Insurance companies will hardly be touched with the 25% administratives fees. That 160 B. dollars is still money, could be applied to education, infrastructure. No wonder the Repugs say the Dem's are tax and spend if we don't see an additonal 160 B is not real money. The Edwards plan probably would increase medical expenditures in the US to about 16% of GDP from 15%. . Single payer would probably drop it to like 12% of GDP.
