“…It is estimated that quality healthcare for the entire country would save over 68,000 lives and 1.73 million life years annually (19,55,62). Individuals without insurance have a higher odds of death (3), increased mortality (31,54,63), delays in starting treatment, reduced treatment adherence and worse outcomes (12,21,54), and increased maternal morbidity compared to those with insurance (64,65). While the exact impact on expansion or contraction of services covered will vary by proposal and its relation to an individual's current coverage, many universal healthcare proposals would expand coverage to provide comprehensive bene ts (3,23,33,(38)(39)(40)48).…”

Background: The United States has the unfortunate distinction of spending much more on healthcare than other countries around the world while also having poorer health outcomes.Understanding the economic and social impacts of solutions to the current state of high healthcare costs and poor outcomes is critical both from an economic and social perspective. A detailed investigation into the costs and benefits, both economic and social, is needed to understand the impact of implementing a universal healthcare model in the US. Methods: We conducted a rapid scoping review of recent literature related to universal healthcare in the United States to identify its potential economic and social impacts. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar articles published between 2020-2023, in English, and focused on universal healthcare in the US. Exclusion criteria included discussions of medical conditions without a specific tie to universal coverage, books, political think tank publications, graduate student scholarship, reference chapters in encyclopedias, and duplicate articles. Two researchers reviewed, summarized, and coded the sources. Results: Our search yielded 2070 results with 67 documents included in the final scoping review. Analysis uncovered five themes related to the economic impact of implementing a universal healthcare model in the US: 1) government spending, 2) individual spending and income, 3) national health expenditures, 4) impact on the US’s gross domestic product and economy, and 5) impacts on specific costs and cost-controls. Identified social impacts included 1) healthcare access, utilization, and health outcomes, 2) quality of care, 3) patient and provider experience, 4) individual and societal externalities, 5) potential opposition and support, and 6) equity. Conclusions: On balance, the economic and social impacts of implementing a universal healthcare system in the US are overwhelmingly positive. To be sure, there will be some sectors that will not benefit from this change, many political hurdles to overcome, and valid concerns remain about ensuring the system does not duplicate and perpetuate the current system’s inequalities and inefficiencies. When looked at overall however, a universal healthcare system in the US will be vastly superior to the current system and will improve health for less money.

“…Universal coverage would help address racial, ethnic, and income related disparities (1, 3, 4, 9, 12, 13, 21, 23, 25, 31, 34, 39, 56-58, 60, 62, 64-66). However, while universal healthcare is necessary, it is not su cient to eliminate these disparities (1,4,9,13,29,33,56,58,59,64,65,67,(70)(71)(72).…”

In a recent issue, Derek Griffith, PhD, excellently outlines approaches to maximize antiracism and health equity science. 1 He expertly notes that when research compares racial groups, 2 a comparative approach is useful to identify a problem, need, or method for evaluating the differential benefits of an intervention but is not useful for explaining "why," "how," or "under what conditions" differences between groups exist. Comparative approaches . . . may erroneously conclude that patterns of variation (ie, what distinguishes 2 groups) are patterns of causation (ie, why 2 groups are different). 1
