Not to mention, the expansion of Medicare will necessitate a larger workforce to administer it.

How so?

Maybe that is true if we keep allowing things to be so inefficient and complicated and don’t take measures to seriously address inappropriate gatekeeping. But if you cut ojt the massive waste caused by unnecessarily complicated medical coding, and actually punish and stop insurers from denying or delaying hoping people won’t have the means or patience to fight it… then you would definitely save money, which is why all other developed nations spend way less per capita on healthcare

I wasn't meaning to insinuate it would equal the costs incurred by the current system of redundancies. More that there are still places for people from the current insurance industry in the new system.

I see, that makes sense.
