The claim that "even the Koch organizations say it will save money while covering everyone" provides a useful bit of rhetoric for proponents of the policy. Update: The post initially said M4A would save #$300 billion but it's been updated to $2 trillion. There was also a (huge!) mistake in the initial report: The study, which came out of the Koch-funded research center, was initially provided to the AP with a cost estimate that exceeded previous ones by an incredible $3 trillion -- a massive error that was found and corrected by Sanders's staff when approached by AP for comment.
