About the same as we pay now. I would be surprised if the actual cost were not lower.
But wingers don’t analyze things like that. They just screech “$32 trillion! Where are we gonna get $32 trillion?”

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez mighty impressive on 60 Minutes

Kirsten Gillibrand and Paul Ryan would be examples of good people who are qualified for office. Not Cortez or Trump.

Cortez has all the qualifications of Paul Ryan when he was first elected.

Why isn’t Cortez qualified?
Bartender and the crazy trump like things she says shows she doesn't even understand real life or government.

She’s disqualified because she was a bartender? You can’t actually believe that.
What “Trump like things” has she said?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s $21 trillion mistake
By Salvador Rizzo
December 4, 2018
“$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions ‘could not be traced, documented, or explained.’ $21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T. That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.”
— Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), in a tweet, Dec. 2, 2018
The Defense Department is awash with money. So much money that neither the staff nor 1,200 auditors could make sense of where it all went. (The Pentagon recently failed its first big audit in history.)
Enter Ocasio-Cortez. She supports expanding Medicare to people under 65, what’s known as single-payer or Medicare-for-all. But the big question is how to pay for all that health care. According to an estimate from the Urban Institute, the price tag on Sen. Bernie Sanders’s Medicare-for-all proposal would be $32 trillion over 10 years.

Maybe the Pentagon has a few trillion dollars lying around somewhere, as Ocasio-Cortez implied? Let’s find out.
The Facts
Ocasio-Cortez claimed on Twitter that $21 trillion in “Pentagon accounting errors” could have paid for 66 percent of the Medicare-for-all proposal. Her tweet references an article in the Nation, a left-leaning magazine. The specific line about the missing $21 trillion comes from research by Mark Skidmore, an economics professor at Michigan State University.

As you know I didn't say she was disqualified. I said that I preferred more qualified candidates.
Nice spin.
I can't believe Bugsy is even going so low as to defend Ocasio. A new low for your Bugs.

She admitted she misspoke about that. She’s young and learning. She’s going to make mistakes.Fact Checker Analysis

But you compared her to Trump. Trump has told over 7,600 lies as president, and he just keeps telling them. They are polar opposites.

The reason I linked to her interview is because it demonstrates beyond doubt that she is a bright, extremely passionate legislator. You should watch it. Of course, the right wing hate machine, which identifies Dem rising stars and hates on them, has falsely depicted her as an idiotic floozy. Those interested in the truth should watch the video.
as you libs did Palin

You and I both know that....but he keeps bringing them up, yet denies he wants to natiinalize the insurance industry.
In short, he has no idea how to pay for it.
