Sometime this month, socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders will unveil his “Medicare for all” bill that will have the government pay 100% of the nation’s health care costs.
That will be an amazing feat of financial legerdemain for a country $20 trillion in debt and a government that already spends much more than it takes in.
Sanders relies on the typical argument offered by single-payer advocates, who falsely claim that every other industrialized country provides guaranteed universal coverage, with lower health costs and better health outcomes.
His Senate colleague Kamala Harris of California already has signaled her support for Sanders’ “CommieCare.”
According to a web page outlining the proposed plan, it will cover “the entire continuum of health care,” from inpatient care to dental, vision, drugs and rehab. What’s incredible is patients wouldn’t pay one penny out of pocket, according to the outline.

Texas is deporting….no state tax….times are good
No it’s not for the average blue-collar worker you’re out of your fucking mind your wages are so fucking low nobody can afford to buy$#%&!@*ask me how I know
Trickle down economics doesnt work…Its infact trickle up…One billionaire dosent eat twice as much just because they have more money…they can still only drive one car at a time they use exactly the same amount of electricity as a non billionaire they probably still only have a small selection of clothes most lightly bought from a more up market shop thus that money goes in the the pocket of other billionaires. Do the maths…1 billionaire buys food in a local restaurant pays a 10% tip…Now do 10 average earners same restaurant each pays a 10% tip.. Whos tips add up more…Whos keeping those working in that restaurant in a job??
Shelley Willett All that was going on before this orange clown he’s lucky he wasn’t handed what Obama was handed in 08 after the last Republican fucked everything up
That the Clinton’s paid for him to not come forward on the Hillary scam that cheated Bernie out of the election perks….
Just remember that the house, senate and executive branch were all controlled by Republicans during the great depression and the great recession. When are the citizens of the United States start to learn from history.
Republican states rely more heavily on federal dollars as a share of their budgets than do more Democratic states, largely because Southern states, especially, are more likely to have a higher percentage of residents living in poverty.
Mississippi and Louisiana both rely on federal grants to account for more than 40 percent of their annual budgets; Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Georgia get more than 36 percent of their budgets from the feds.
About two-thirds of all federal grants go toward funding Medicaid programs, Stauffer said. States like Mississippi and Louisiana have a higher percentage of residents receiving Medicaid, and a lower percentage of residents paying income taxes.
Meanwhile, a state like New York, which also has a large Medicaid program, relies less on the federal government for shares of its budget because it has a relatively strong tax base.
If this is true, then Bernie needs to be put in an asylum. The government has a 20 Trillion dollar debt now. Where is this money coming from to pay for a 100% health care plan. He is insane. The government does not have anything that it does not take from somebody else first, like your money to pay for things. The US Government is broke. When you owe more money than you take in you are broke.
