And they were too stupid to figure it out.

2018-04-29 00:28:16 UTC  

That's why I think Bernie's Single Payer is DOA

2018-04-29 00:28:38 UTC  

If it doesn't cover illegals the Leftists won't support it

2018-04-29 00:29:09 UTC  

But if it does then everyone else would fight like hell to stop it

2018-04-29 00:29:51 UTC  

Yeah and it's over one trillion dollars in spending

2018-04-29 00:30:05 UTC  

Its more than that

2018-04-29 00:30:08 UTC  

And it won't actually be free healthcare

2018-04-29 00:30:20 UTC  

His plan would raise the payroll tax by like 15%

2018-04-29 00:30:20 UTC  

And also he'll need to hike the payroll tax

2018-04-29 00:30:43 UTC  

and even with it would add like 5 trillion to the debt over 10 years

2018-04-29 00:30:46 UTC  

We'd be fucked if it doesn't deliver an exponential level of efficiency alongside coverage

2018-04-29 00:30:55 UTC  

Don't be too optimistic, Walter,

2018-04-29 00:31:03 UTC  

I remember back in the 1990s,

2018-04-29 00:31:05 UTC  

Yeah and he'll need to really make the Medicare portion of the FICA/SECA tax progressive.

2018-04-29 00:31:18 UTC  

when we defeated the Democrats under Clinton

2018-04-29 00:31:20 UTC  

It would need to not only be hiked massively on the poor but it would need to skyrocket to like

2018-04-29 00:31:25 UTC  

a huge amount

2018-04-29 00:31:26 UTC  

For rich people

2018-04-29 00:31:35 UTC  

We thought we defeated any chance of HillaryCare or any form of government healthcare

2018-04-29 00:31:42 UTC  

Two presidents later,

2018-04-29 00:31:46 UTC  

We get ObamaCare

2018-04-29 00:32:18 UTC  

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%

2018-04-29 00:32:55 UTC  

His plan is a joke

2018-04-29 00:33:41 UTC  

The healthcare question is really about efficiency and that sort of thing

2018-04-29 00:33:52 UTC  

I think it's a stunt for his 2020 Presidential prospects

2018-04-29 00:34:02 UTC  

Not really how thin you can spread the butter

2018-04-29 00:34:06 UTC  

why else would he release his plan under a Republican administration?

2018-04-29 00:34:19 UTC  

This was an article made in 2016

2018-04-29 00:34:28 UTC  

Indeed.

2018-04-29 00:34:50 UTC  

Right, but he reiterated it just recently

2018-04-29 00:34:56 UTC  

The only way he would get any of his stuff passed is if he packed the courts

2018-04-29 00:35:06 UTC  

Which I'm afraid he would do if elected

2018-04-29 00:35:45 UTC  

If he's planning to run, I don't suspect he's planning to win

2018-04-29 00:35:51 UTC  

I wonder if there will be enough hard-left Democrats to go along with any Sanders legislation

2018-04-29 00:35:59 UTC  

depends

2018-04-29 00:36:12 UTC  

Button Mash

2018-04-29 00:36:19 UTC  

If he has a majority he could face the same problem we're facing now

2018-04-29 00:36:24 UTC  

anybody watching the rally?

2018-04-29 00:36:28 UTC  

I wonder if Manchin and Heidkamp would work with President Sanders
