Thanks for mentioning the Congressional Budget Office's report on universal healthcare. Drawing on economists from across the political spectrum, the CBO published its 200-page analysis of single-payer / simple-payer universal care in Dec 2020. A year earlier I gave a name to the trillions-per-decade net cost savings the CBO subsequently identified: America's #HealthDividend. I framed it in a whitepaper, available from ira (at) fairnow (dot) org.

The CBO followed up with a second report, this one about 50 pages, summarizing specific ways universal care could benefit people and businesses, and boost American prosperity: https://medium.com/@idember/pigs-fly-cbo-admits-medicare-for-all-will-aid-people-businesses-economy-e32d72ce59a2 .
