A July 24th study by scientists at Yale’s School of Public Health and Maryland University found that Medicare for All would reduce the annual cost of healthcare in the US from $5.2 trillion to $4.2 trillion, saving $1 trillion dollars per year while saving 114,000 lives per year. Medicare for All is supported by 78% of Democrats and 47% of Republicans even after they are informed it would eliminate private health insurance, according to a November 2025 survey from Data for Progress.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries not supporting Medicare for All is out of touch with the Democratic base. His position helps build the case that he should not be voted Speaker of the House after the Democrats likely win back Congress in November.
