This is one of the things that bugs me the most about the single payer healthcare debate. It is objectively true that having the government foot the bill for more medical spending would require increased revenue through the form of tax increases, but politicians like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders swear up and down that Medicare for all "won't increases taxes on the middle class." If you want to argue for an expanded, European style social services fine, but at least do so in an intellectually honest way.

That’s because the projected cost of Medicare for all is 3.5 *trillion* dollars per year. Literally a doubling of the national tax burden. AOC claimed we could do it by cutting a fraction of the military budget, which is about 600 billion per year.
