Bernie Sanders Releases His Healthcare Plan: Medicare For All--Leaving No One Behind (health care system, Congress)

[JAMS14]

"Bernie’s plan would create a federally administered single-payer health care program. Universal single-payer health care means comprehensive coverage for all Americans. Bernie’s plan will cover the entire continuum of health care, from inpatient to outpatient care; preventive to emergency care; primary care to specialty care, including long-term and palliative care; vision, hearing and oral health care; mental health and substance abuse services; as well as prescription medications, medical equipment, supplies, diagnostics and treatments."

A plan whose time has come.

[TrapperJohn]

The liberal elite will have no part of it.

Perhaps, if Mr Sanders is insane or delusional.
HOW CAN WE PAY FOR "FREE" HEALTHCARE?
(Not everyone has a job, nor a "good job"!)

18+ Trillion Dollar Public Debt

Pursuant to the Coinage Act of 1792, et seq, that debt computes to over 900 billion ounces of gold, stamped into coin.
❏ Problem #1 : Fort Knox depository (allegedly) holds 147.4 million ounces of gold.
❏ Problem #2 : World wide supply (est) is 5.6 billion ounces of gold.
❏ Problem #3 : At current mining rates, it would take over 8000 years to mine enough bullion IF the debt and interest were frozen right now.
❏ Problem #4 : The validity of this insane public debt cannot be questioned, pursuant to clause 4, 14th amendment, USCON.

Remember, the dollar bill (Federal Reserve Note) is a debt, and has minus value. It cannot pay off the national debt - being part of it. (See: Title 12 USC Sec. 411)

So "where" does all that money come from?
To authorize spending more, Congress has to go deeper into (impossible) debt, borrowing FRNs (dollar bills) to pay for it.

WHO IS OBLIGATED TO PAY OFF THIS DEBT?
Our children?
Our grandchildren?

The liberals will only go for this if they are exempt from using their money to fund it.

[ATX Wahine]

37% tax rate for families making over 250k. Ouch.

[imbobbbb]

how does he get it through congress??

[pknopp]

The first place to start paying for it is to bring all of our soldiers home.

Didn't Bernie Sanders self-described as a socialist? Why is his poll so high? Do Americans want a socialist society?

The vast majority have for a long time.

Social Security.

Medicare

Medicaid

Q.E.

I could continue.

[michiganmoon]

I would like a national health care system, but Bernie is too overboard.

18 Trillion in new spending...

...his proposals to pay for it all need best case scenarios that are highly unlikely and even then he will still be accelerating the debt.
