#349 – Bhaskar Sunkara: The Case for Socialism
Lex Fridman Podcast
The Cost of Socialism in Health Care
Socialist programs like social security expansion free college will cost upwards of 40 trillion dollars over 10 years for zero okay they could argue with those numbers and so on but so there's a cost there's a taxpayer cost what are given the weight of that cost. Can you still make the case with these programs and then can you try to make the case against them that the cost is too high? I think universal health care if done right can be basically cost neutral i think it's an exception because we spend a tremendous amount of money on on on health care a huge percentage or a GDP so i think it could be done in a way this close to um cost neutral.
