Health Care: Medicare-for-All Would Be Major Stimulus for Economy

Single-payer health insurance would generate 2.6 million new jobs, $317 billion in business revenues, $100 billion in wages. The number of jobs created by a single-payer system, expanding and upgrading Medicare to cover everyone, parallels almost exactly the total job loss in 2008, according to the findings of a study by the California Nurses Association.
