<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639340/bernie-sanders-is-all-for-canada-becoming-the-51st-state-if-the-u-s-will-also-adopt-universal-healthcare">Universal healthcare</a> has been debated in the United States for decades. A study from Yale University after the pandemic sheds light on its potential impact, the costs and benefits of adopting it and the lives it could have saved.&nbsp;
According to the study published by Yale researchers, more than 335,000 lives could have been saved from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic through March 2022 if the U.S. had a universal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40150567/charlie-munger-called-healthcare-industry-deeply-immoral-and-a-disgrace-claiming-providers-artif">single-payer healthcare system</a>. In 2020 alone, during the height of the pandemic, the study reported that 212,000 deaths could have been prevented.&nbsp;

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
The study also revealed the potential economic benefits of a universal system like Medicare for All. In 2020, it could have saved the U.S. about $105 billion in COVID-19-related hospitalization costs. Beyond the pandemic, researchers estimate that universal healthcare could reduce national healthcare expenses by $438 billion annually during a typical year.&nbsp;
The Yale study determined the following factors would contribute to this potential cost savings:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Better access to preventive care: Catching and managing chronic conditions earlier would allow patients to avoid costly emergency treatments.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Lower administrative overhead: Single-payer systems streamline billing and reduce bureaucracy, saving billions.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Price negotiations: Giving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41852616/doctors-3-medicare-pay-cut-could-it-lead-to-fewer-providers-accepting-medicare-patients">Medicare</a> more control over negotiating drug and service prices could lower costs.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Alison Galvani, Ph.D., director of Yale's Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis and lead author of the study, said, "Americans are needlessly losing lives and money. Medicare for All would be an economic stimulus and life-saving transformation of our health care system."

While the Yale study covered many potential benefits of universal healthcare for the U.S., transitioning to this system would have challenges. An article published by the National Library of Medicine outlined some of these challenges:
<ul>
<li>Implementing universal healthcare would require substantial upfront costs as the current healthcare infrastructure must undergo complete reform.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Funding universal healthcare would likely require higher taxes. Past proposals for this system have included increases in payroll and income taxes.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The U.S. would have several logistical hurdles to overcome, including significant regional disparities that would make ensuring an equitable system difficult.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The U.S. spends more on health care per capita than other high-income countries. However, according to the Commonwealth Fund, it still lags behind nations with universal healthcare in key areas like life expectancy and preventable mortality rates.&nbsp;

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a></a>
Those in favor of universal healthcare argue that it would address these issues and provide coverage to millions of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42491306/is-u-s-health-insurance-failing-the-sickest-and-poorest-new-study-reveals-49-million-americans-lack-proper-health-coverage">uninsured Americans</a>, reducing disparities in access to care. Critics, however, state that universal systems in other countries often face challenges like longer wait times and limitations on elective procedures. They are also concerned about the strain the upfront costs could have on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41564246/from-10-trillion-to-35-trillion-how-government-spending-has-spiraled-out-of-control">federal budget</a>.&nbsp;
The debate over universal healthcare in the U.S. is far from simple. The Yale study and others like it discuss the potential savings of lives and healthcare expenses for the average American. Implementing a system like this in the United States would take a lot of effort, including tackling financial, logistical and political barriers.&nbsp;
Whether universal healthcare is in the United States' future remains to be seen. For Americans concerned about the state of health care, these findings provide further context to understand what reform would take.&nbsp;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Fluor Stock In The Last 5 Years

The NFL aired two games on Christmas Day in 2024, a move that may have angered the NBA while also bringing in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42701434/netflixs-nfl-debut-brings-record-streams-but-lags-traditional-tv-report">impressive viewership figures.</a>
What Happened: While many sports leagues see strong viewership in the United States, the NFL has been king for years and that may have been even more evident with streaming records set Wednesday for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42695495/netflix-nfl-games-show-super-bowl-contenders-mvp-frontrunner-poll-27-watch">premiere on streaming giant</a> Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
Two NFL Christmas Day games featuring four teams who have made the NFL Playoffs broke records for the league with an average of 24.1 million viewers for the earlier Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers game and an average of 24.3 million viewers for the Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans game.
The <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-nfl-christmas-gameday-reaches-65-million-us-viewers">ratings </a>beat a previous NFL streaming record of 23 million set by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) with an exclusive game on Peacock during the previous NFL Playoffs. The figures also broke a regular-season record of 17.92 million set by the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers on Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) owned Prime Video in December, as reported by <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/nfl-netflix-debut-sets-streaming-records-as-nba-sees-84-increase/">FrontOfficeSports</a>.
Netflix said Nielsen data showed 65 million U.S. viewers watched at least one minute of the NFL games, with average viewership peaking at 27 million during Beyoncé&#8217;s halftime performance in the Ravens and Texans game.
NBA superstar LeBron James might not want to see the viewership figures and hear about the records.
After the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, James declared the holiday as belonging to the NBA.
"I love the NFL. I love the NFL. But Christmas is our day," James said.

Can NBA and NFL Both Win?: While Christmas produced records for the NFL, the NBA also enjoyed a strong day for viewership.
The NBA aired five games on Christmas Day, which aired on ABC, ESPN, ESPN+ and Disney+, all units of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
NBA Christmas Day games averaged 5.25 million viewers, up 84% year-over-year. Helping the viewership may have been the teams involved and the fact that all five games were available on ABC, while only two were last year.
This figure is the highest for the NBA on the holiday in five years. The Lakers and Warriors game averaged 7.76 million viewers, ranking as the NBA's most-watched Christmas Day game since 2019.
For the 2024 NBA season, viewership is now down 4% year-over-year after the Christmas day games, compared to being down 18% year-over-year ahead of Wednesday.
NBA viewership on ESPN platforms is now up 4% year-over-year, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/nba-christmas-day-ratings-lakers-warriors-1236242578/">Deadline</a>.
The NBA could also benefit from the Christmas Day games, with its owned NBA League Pass reporting its most-viewed Christmas Day ever.
What's Next: For the NFL, encroaching on other sports isn't exactly new and likely won't be changing anytime soon.
The NFL began Monday Night Football games in 1970 and later added Thursday Night Football games in 2006, which now stream on Prime Video.
NFL games air on Saturdays during December and January, diverging from the league&#8217;s usual avoidance of the day for most of the season due to NCAA Football and the restrictions of the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act. This year, the NCAA expanded its College Football Playoffs from four to 12 teams, leading to a rare head-to-head clash with the NFL last weekend.
On Saturday, Dec. 21, the NFL had two games, and there were three College Football Playoffs games, with two airing on TNT Sports, a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>), and one airing on ABC and ESPN.
Netflix has a three-year deal with the NFL and will stream at least one game on Christmas for the next two seasons.
The increase in Christmas Day games from the NFL might come as a bit of a surprise after the league said last year it was only scheduling games on Christmas 2023 because the day fell on Monday, a traditional NFL date, as <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lebron-james-i-love-the-nfl-but-christmas-is-the-nbas-day">reported </a>by NBC Sports.
The league said it wouldn't schedule games on Christmas if it fell on a Tuesday or Wednesday previously, according to the report, but strong viewership last year and the potential for more money may have changed the league's mind.
Netflix has more sports content coming with its WWE deal through a partnership with TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), premiering on Jan. 6.
The NBA is likely stuck with going head-to-head with the NFL on Christmas Day, regardless of what day the holiday falls on. One way for the NBA to get back at the NFL would be to start <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42226470/heres-why-the-detroit-lions-dallas-cowboys-always-have-thanksgiving-day-nfl-games">scheduling games on Thanksgiving</a>, a date the league has avoided due to the NFL having three games that day.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock was down 1.8% to $907.55 on Friday, versus a 52-week trading range of $461.86 to $941.75.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Murphy USA 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Friday there are "early indications" that Russian air defenses may have been involved in the Azerbaijan Airlines crash on Christmas Day, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42686735/azerbaijan-airliner-crash-kills-38-weather-russia-under-scrutiny">killing 38 and injuring 29.</a>
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/12/27/azerbaijan-airlines-plane-crash-russia/">reports</a> Kirby emphasized these findings are preliminary, as investigations into the crash remain ongoing.
What Happened: The flight, en route from Baku to Grozny, diverted midflight before ultimately crashing in Kazakhstan. Kirby highlighted that the evidence extends beyond images of the damaged aircraft, though he declined to provide further details, according to WaPo.
Azerbaijani officials have also cited "external interference" as the likely cause, with initial investigations showing the wreckage bore marks consistent with an air-defense missile.
Passengers and crew reported hearing three explosions near Grozny, with cutting debris injuring those onboard. Azerbaijani Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev confirmed that the injuries were caused by objects piercing the fuselage, The Post reports.
Azerbaijani Airlines has since suspended flights to multiple Russian cities, citing ongoing safety concerns.

Why It Matters: The suggestion of Russian involvement has amplified geopolitical tensions in a region already fraught with conflict. If confirmed, the incident would deepen mistrust between Azerbaijan and Moscow, raising broader questions about the safety of air travel in conflict zones.
The U.S. has offered to assist Azerbaijani and Kazakh officials in the investigation, underscoring the international significance of the findings.
Russian authorities initially blamed weather conditions and bird strikes but later mentioned drone activity near Grozny, which had triggered radar jamming. But survivors described an external impact according to The Post. &#8220;We felt a blow from outside,&#8221; a flight attendant said, noting the plane broke apart on impact.

National Security Council's Kirby Notes Early Indications Of Russian Link In Azerbaijan Crash

In a quiet week for economic data, Wall Street&#8217;s focus shifted to the possibility of witnessing a "Santa Rally," the seasonal tendency for stocks to rise in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42675763/santa-rally-serial-winners-10-stocks-historically-poised-for-big-year-end-gains">final days of December. </a>
Historically, the S&amp;P 500 has gained 64 times in the past 96 years during the Dec. 24–Dec. 31 window, averaging a 0.85% return.
The market began the week attempting a recover from the Federal Reserve's hawkish signals of fewer rate cuts in 2024. Yet, renewed volatility resurfaced on Friday, casting doubt on the Santa rally's resilience.
Investors remain cautious, as markets weigh Fed policy outlook against uncertainty surrounding the incoming Trump administration's economic plans.
Still, 2024 is shaping up to be a banner year. The S&amp;P 500 is on track to match last year's 24% surge, setting up a two-year gain of 55%, the strongest since 1999. U.S. stocks are also outperforming global markets by the widest margin since 1997, driven by the enduring strength of U.S. economic fundamentals.
On the leaderboards, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) has surged 360%, overtaking Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), last year's top performer, which gained 175% in 2024.
Consumer Confidence Slips
U.S. consumer confidence, as measured by the Conference Board, declined in December, highlighting rising concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42657230/us-consumer-confidence-drops-in-december-expectations-signal-potential-economic-weakness-in-2025">about economic conditions</a>. A deeper drop in the expectations index, a key forward-looking measure, signals potential weakness in 2025 amid fears of persistent inflation and steady, high interest rates.
Tesla's Robotaxi Bet
Elon Musk envisions a Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&#8217;s robotaxi fleet allowing owners to earn $40,000 annually. Despite the bold prediction, experts question the feasibility of the technology and regulatory challenges, suggesting Musk's vision remains aspirational rather than immediately achievable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42642606/elon-musk-wants-to-raise-a-tesla-fleet-expert-estimates-vehicle-owners-can-make-40kyear-but-remains-doubtful">in the near term.</a>
Trump's Tariff Impact
Goldman Sachs projects the Trump administration will raise tariffs on Chinese imports, averaging a 20% hike, with higher rates for non-consumer goods. This could increase consumer prices by 1%-2%, strain industrial margins, disrupt supply chains and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42701155/made-in-china-paid-in-america-what-trumps-new-tariffs-mean-for-the-us-economy">ignite Chinese retaliatory measures,</a> the Wall Street firm says.
