Americans already pay more for healthcare now than they would under a Medicare for All system.

“A man had a heart attack and ended up in an out-of-network hospital in Texas.

Even after his insurance paid out almost $56,000, the hospital reportedly stuck him with a balance bill of $109,000 — all for a procedure that should be charged around $27,000.”
“Most tellingly, when national media swarmed over the story, the hospital reportedly cut the bill down to … $782.”

From $109k billed to one person, after insurance.
