They include some interesting budgets in there to inflate it to be fair, but they also leave out the stuff that I have to pay for currently like health care costs. Tbh it would prob be a net equivalent. Even still I’m all for it as a higher earner in this country if it means it will help others, me, and those that come after.

Isn’t the website saying it will COST $355,000 per family? I mean, this site is stupid but… Can we all not read?

It does say that. But the reverse is also true. The government is spending that money; someone is receiving the benefits of that spending. Since we’re talking about “medicaid for all”, the beneficiaries are “anyone who needs medical care”. Which means, we will receive, on average, $355000 worth of care, per household, over a 10-year period.
Of course, nothing of this analysis is in any way reliable. The per-household cost of health care with commercial insurance is far higher than the cost of health care with Medicare. Higher still is the cost of forgoing medical treatment due to financial concerns.

That’s what I read out of it, and I’m neither murican nor native speaker.
But it still sounded like a bunch of dodo-poo to scare the average dildo. “That’s official: socialism bad!”
