Colleagues and I have argued similarly, a fact that helps explain why utilization increases after major coverage expansion in high-income nations have been mostly modest. https://t.co/v8UaO1TY6H https://t.co/HO2j5utFjT .. https://t.co/09wQ9FYQ9c

Interesting historical perspective on how utilization has changed both in aggregate and in terms of distribution across population groups following major health reforms. Key point is that cost growth can be blunted by supply constraints when coverage expa

Key underlying issue in the debate over M4A costs is whether/how much expanding coverage causes the population to use more health care. Here @awgaffney and collaborators say estimates from @urbaninstitute etc are too high. Look forward to reading.

M4A cost estimates vary wildly depending on what they assume about utilization. But a new study found that across many countries, universal coverage expansions increased overall utilization less than is usually assumed! That means M4A will likely be cheape
#M4A supporters ... Y'all need to check this thread out
Medicare for All might not boost health care utilization as much as some estimates project, according to this new paper looking at other coverage expansions, which would substantially reduce the overall cost
