Abdul el Sayed’s Government-Run Healthcare Lie
In a recent podcast interview, Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed sought to reassure voters about his healthcare stance. He’s a supporter of government-run single-payer healthcare, which would cost more than $3 trillion every single year, according to nonpartisan and even left-leaning estimates. That’s on top of existing federal spending, which is already running trillions in the red annually.
TL;DR
- Abdul el Sayed supports government-run single-payer healthcare.
- Estimates place the annual cost of single-payer healthcare at over $3 trillion.
- Funding this program would require substantial tax increases on all income groups.
- The national debt is approaching $41 trillion.
- States like Vermont and California have abandoned similar healthcare goals due to affordability issues.
