Los Angeles Times writer cites study done by Gerald C. Friedman supporting a system of Medicare for all U.S. residents and the concomitant reduction in health care costs for 95 percent of households

A columnist writing about how to replace the Affordable Care Act says a bill sponsored by a Democratic congressman already exists and it calls for creating Medicare for all U.S. residents. The writer cites a study done in 2013 by Gerald C. Friedman, economics, that finds such a system would reduce health care costs for 95 percent of households. (Los Angeles Times, 2/3/17)
