A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

It's amazing to me how little the press knows about public health. Time for those of us in the field to speak up and not let MAHA act as if a focus on "environmental health", "safe foods" and "free primary care" is something new. #publichealth #publichealthsky
