  The results are consistent with economic studies of single-payer health care systems. Most people save under single-payer for two reasons. First, single-payer actually lowers total costs while improving coverage by drastically cutting spending on profits and paperwork. Second, a single-payer insurance program is funded by a tax plan that everyone contributes to, so the burden increases at higher incomes and for corporations paying their share.
context: Obama used the excuse that for-profit insurance was just a very expensive jobs program so we had to keep it because of unemployment. Biden doesn't have that excuse because he is actively trying to increase the amount of labor available. Doesn't it make more sense to reform healthcare than to say raise taxes on the working class to try to get them to work more? Not according to corporate media apparently
