But if it does then everyone else would fight like hell to stop it
Yeah and it's over one trillion dollars in spending
Its more than that
And it won't actually be free healthcare
His plan would raise the payroll tax by like 15%
And also he'll need to hike the payroll tax
and even with it would add like 5 trillion to the debt over 10 years
We'd be fucked if it doesn't deliver an exponential level of efficiency alongside coverage
Don't be too optimistic, Walter,
I remember back in the 1990s,
Yeah and he'll need to really make the Medicare portion of the FICA/SECA tax progressive.
when we defeated the Democrats under Clinton
It would need to not only be hiked massively on the poor but it would need to skyrocket to like
a huge amount
For rich people
We thought we defeated any chance of HillaryCare or any form of government healthcare
Two presidents later,
We get ObamaCare
Right now the Medicare portion is 3% for the common man and once you've already paid in $6000 (which means you make over $200000 per year) you start paying like 1%
The healthcare question is really about efficiency and that sort of thing
I think it's a stunt for his 2020 Presidential prospects
Not really how thin you can spread the butter
why else would he release his plan under a Republican administration?
This was an article made in 2016
Indeed.
Right, but he reiterated it just recently
The only way he would get any of his stuff passed is if he packed the courts
Which I'm afraid he would do if elected
If he's planning to run, I don't suspect he's planning to win
I wonder if there will be enough hard-left Democrats to go along with any Sanders legislation
depends
Button Mash
If he has a majority he could face the same problem we're facing now
anybody watching the rally?
I wonder if Manchin and Heidkamp would work with President Sanders
Did you see the survey he posted in <@&414473406264639488>
I mean he could pass stuff though Executive Order and if he packs the courts with leftists they woldn't be able to do anything
Why is 10% of Republicans supporting Feinstien?
Because,
