Looks like I don't have access to the full paper, but I would be extremely skeptical of any claims with such accuracy or certainty.

The healthcare industry in the US is massive and already full of corruption and inefficiency. Even if we are to assume giving politicians and bureaucracy more control over the system will reduce both issues, we can't predict how successful that will be.

Similar claims were made regarding the hopes for ACA reducing costs and here we are.
