    The economy would skyrocket. Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE would benefit. And there are people in this country so vile they would lose out on billions or trillions in profits just to screw over the masses. Imagine companies not having to pay 10-20k+ per employee for healthcare. Employees getting preventative care, being healthy, and being more … PRODUCTIVE!

      The health insurance industry is half a percent of the whole US economy ($1.6tn of $32tn). Pulling out the rug under it would almost certainly cause a recession in the short term. Probably still worth it imo
