But even though single Americans making $100,000 a year have higher tax rates than CEO billionaires, and even though small businesses pay higher tax rates than large corporations, republicans still STRONGLY oppose raising taxes on CEO's and large corporations.

Bingo!

And Sanders has been advocating Medicare for All for quite some time. What that will really be is "Obamacare for All--including seniors.

That's the rub because those on Medicare are exempt from Obamacare. Which leaves Socialists with that pesky little issue of eyeing the big pot---seniors' pockets. Sanders and Hillary would both like to have seniors paying outrageous premiums to support the masses (including illegals getting "amnesty).

Wake up sheeple.

Thank you. So what we have is a few months. Those over 60 mostly all have health care here. Japan is well above everyone so I would suggest the differences after 60 has a lot to do with diet.

Now that is something that could be addressed at younger ages if all were able to see a doctor on a regular basis which I do support.

From the Ds we have Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare and now advocates of single payer.

Just a few questions: what is the Republican plan, and what have Republicans ever done for healthcare of American citizens?
