The study where this $32 trillion figure comes from says that *not* doing Medicare for All would cost Americans $2 trillion more than M4A does. If you think m4a is unaffordable, then the status quo is even more unaffordable.

Oh this is an easy one. Because your plan costs $32 trillion, and bankrupts my generation. It takes away private employer plans from tens of millions of Americans. But at least you recognize that Obamacare has not worked. We need more freedom and choice, not less.
