From the link:

"...the White House calculates that if Medicare for All were financed through higher taxes, it would reduce GDP over the long run by 9%, and household income after taxes and health expenditures by 19%."

Bullshit, and bullshit.

And you know what really reduces "household income after taxes and health expenditures"? Getting so sick you file for bankruptcy.
