Universal Healthcare Saves $$$

This is what I have been trying to tell you:

Universal health plan could yield savings
WASHINGTON -- Expanding government health insurance coverage to all Americans could reduce healthcare spending by as much as $60.7 billion a year, according to a study by a nonpartisan research center.

The estimated savings would include a $33.9 billion cut in the cost of prescription drugs, the New York-based Commonwealth Fund said in a report yesterday . The organization evaluated proposals introduced in Congress in recent years, including some that would allow everyone to enroll in Medicare, the government health insurance program that now serves older Americans and the disabled.
Liberals and progressives have been saying this for years. When are the so-called conservatives going to start conserving money and join us in supporting a universal health care plan.
