we teamsters fought long and hard to get good heath insurance....no way we are giving it up for m4a
This is what I have seen too, as an ex-union rep. Union workers tend to have better than average health care plans. Why would they wish to give that up? A few might, based on ideological impetus, but most would not.
In 2016, employers paid an average of $12,865 in private health insurance premiums for a worker with a family of four who makes $50,000 a year. Under this option, employers would pay a 7.5 percent payroll tax to help finance Medicare for All – just $3,750 – a savings of more than $9,000 a year for that employee.
Sanders is losing union support hand over fist, since he adopted warrens stance on eliminating all private health insurance
teamsters will not support that socialist
No he is not losing union support hand over fist. You don't speak for all teamsters. Unions all over the world have been at the forefront when it comes to fighting for universal health care to strengthening the bargaining power of the workers.
How so? You're not considering all the extra taxes that would impact both employers and employees. Your math below is wrong. It leaves out most of the tax hikes on employers and the tax hike on employees. Read this link and rework the math:

Like I said in the other thread... M4A would give union members a big demotion to being just one of 330 million people all trying to access the same level of health care when they already have excellent priority health care now. What same person would opt for the demotion?
Sorry, but you're not going to be able to polish the M4A turd enough to win union votes for Bernie.
