'Our study is actually conservative, because it doesn't factor in the lives saved among underinsured Americans,' study author Alison Galvani from the the Yale School of Public Health told Newsweek.

Overall, the new research anticipates annual savings of about 13 percent in national health care costs, while providing better health care access to lower-income families. According to the study, about 37 million Americans do not have health insurance, while an additional 41 million people do not have adequate health care coverage. Taken together, about 24 percent of the total population does not have health care coverage that meets their needs.

The authors also noted, as Sanders often does when discussing Medicare for all, that health care expenditures in the U.S. are"higher" per capita"than in any other country." Sanders, the Vermont Senator, lauded the study, Common Dreams reported, adding that his plan would guarantee"health care as a human right."
