When asked how America will pay for a single-payer healthcare system, Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) states that “We’re already spending enough on health care. We’re just not getting our money’s worth.“

The $4.5 trillion spent in the U.S. on healthcare in 2022 was “more than enough to finance all medically necessary care for every U.S. resident while totally eliminating out-of-pocket spending.”

“Bottom line: a single-payer national health program is not only affordable, it’s the only affordable option.”
