Serious question: If the american health care system (which may be the most prominent thing stopping migration currently) would become a socialized-financed commodity how much %GDP would America loose?
Probably none, because the people wouldn't go bankrupt because of a broken leg and be able to spend the money and be able to keep spending money on something worthwhile instead. Breaking people's necks financially by means of medical bills is not a great thing in the long run for the economy.
America spends the most on healthcare already, it's ludicrous
The current healthcare is a net loss for the country. The only people losing money would be private medical industry, and its share holders, but it wouldn't off set the losses caused by the crushing expenses, and bankruptcies as far as the general GDP is concerned.
