Bernie Sanders likely wants to raise everyone's taxes to pay for universal health care, but promises it will be worth it. The Democratic presidential contender has long promoted a single payer health care system, which would eliminate the private insurance market in favor of a government-run program. He calls it 'Medicare for All. Sanders' plan for health insurance is now in the spotlight, with rival Hillary Clinton demanding that he reveal how he'd pay for it. Her campaign contends it would require raising taxes on the middle class by 9%. Sanders has waffled on whether he'd unveil details before the...

One thing that amazes me so much is the fact that the President can not raise taxes without a act of Congress, and if my math is correct the House stays GOP and so does the Senate, so how will the tax raising happen if Sanders is President?

How did the current budget get passed with everything Obuma wanted!...The simple answer is that the feckless Republicans are BOUGHT OFF or compliant to the DemoRATS agendas!

 

[Votto]

I'm not sure everyone can grasp the insanity here.

The entire country was force fed Obamacare and now it is such a disaster the very same people that forced fed us Obamacare want a single payer system

WTF?

Well then you need to blame Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan for not being more like John Boehner... ( That is sarcasm )

Also for us to get to Universal Healthcare the GOP would have to pass it, and that is not going to happen no matter how much you believe they will.

So in the end the idea of Universal healthcare and raising taxes to pay for it will not happen no matter if you believe Ryan and McConnell would do it...

You don't drive on public roads?

You are well aware that's not what I'm talking about. Most roads are not Federally funded and my travel rarely takes me onto Interstates.

Your taxes would replace your insurance premiums.

No, they wouldn't!

These single payer people are not thinking clearly at all.

Trump supported single payer.

But he's a "conservative."

lol

He still does. But in any manner close to what your side wants.
You people want government to waive a magic wand. huge increases in taxes. That's the wand.
That will never be sustainable....
look, no one likes paying health insurance premiums. Few people like how their insurance works. They hate the gate keepers, the ambiguous legalese in their policies, etc.
The solution of single payer is NOLT the answer. our federal government has a long track record of doing very little correctly. There is NO appreciable evidence in the track record of Washington that remotely suggests it can b e trusted with the well being of the population. No way.

Let say they take the Senate do you believe the Democratic Senate can pass a bill without the support of the GOP House?

Again it is not happening...

Look, I live in reality where I know that the chances of the Senate falling Democratic is less than fifty percent and the House falling is not even going to happen.

So there will be no Universal Healthcare nor tax increase and before you write the House could fall to the Democratic party in 2018, well anything is possible and with that way of thinking maybe Alicia Vikander will sit on my face and let me guess her weight, but most likely not...

Also if Sanders win the White House he is a one term President and a GOP candidate will win in 2020.

 

[thereisnospoon]

can democrats ever explain how stealing money from the middle class will boom the economy and have free health care for everyone?

You should ask that of the people running the oil companies and GE and Apple and Walmart who are letting you pay their taxes for them.

Then you can get back to discussing the topic of this thread...assuming you even understand it.

That means absolutely hogwash....You lefties just love to roll out the corporation card.
How much are you realistically willing to confiscate to fulfill your dream of a socialist utopia?
Have you stopped to consider the consequences?

You can throw it away but reality is not your friend.

For Universal Healthcare to happen Paul Ryan would have to agree with passing such bill through the House and I damn well know the Tea Party Caucus would revolt if even attempted and the majority of the GOP would revolt.

Now I will admit Immigration Reform will happen no matter if Sanders win or Trump win...

That is what you should watch for in the next two years after this Presidential election...

Your taxes would replace your insurance premiums.

No, they wouldn't!

Any why not? You would no longer be paying thousands of dollars annually for private insurance. Paying for profit margins would be history. True, you'd be paying for government bureaucracy, but right now you are paying for the health care insurance bureaucracy which is well known to be huge and overlapping.
You're an old fucker Vag, So I would guess you're on Medicare and maybe you added a private insurance supplemental plan and what you are paying for that is probably around a third of what you'd end up paying if there was no Medicare and you had to deal with private insurance.

Government bureaucracy in charge of your medical care does not concern you?.....

lol, lol, lol

Most of the money would come from the top 5%. The middle class of course would pay some but as a member above said the premiums you pay now would probably be higher then the tax.

Your data is from where?
Government cannot build a highway on time and within budget. And you want THAT in charge of the medical care industry?....

[Katzndogz]

He should lower the corporate to 25% and remove all loop holes
He should raise the income and other taxes 5% on the damn 5% highest portion of our population.

It would be a great idea. Most countries of the first world has single payer and universal healthcare!!! Why not us.

It doesn't work.
