Bernie and Pat Leahy represent me and my fellow Vermonters in that circus called the Senate. Bernie's the real deal, and he's got cast iron cojones. He would not suck up to the weasels of Wall Street, but that's probably why he would never get anointed. Just look what Howard Dean's own Party did to him! "I have a Scream," my ass...

I was laid off and now I am searching for coverage for me and my family and its a scam.
Bernie Sanders and others that are screaming about this system are right its a scam.
We care still paying for heath care programs that are not designed to reduced costs, it may appear as so, but when you fill out the forms its a scam.
I told these services that its scam.
If you are married you are penalized based on income, you can not get a single plan if you file returns, and just like I told that one representative I might as well file for a divorce--this is outrageous to get something affordable.
Based on your income is the bases for your deductible requirement.
And all plans are based on a metal: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, I did not see lead, or junk steel.
We have had and continue to have a do nothing Congress on everything, until, next year then the full force of the Ryan budget and the right wing austerity programs are initiated and implemented , we are so screwed, and since I voted I get to complain.


Everyone in this country could have increased there Medicaid and Social Security and Medicare of 7.65 % on EVERYONE on there EARNED INCOME no cap or limit all INCOME.,
Social Security tax = 6.2%
Medicare + Medicaid tax = 1.45%
Total from all earned income =7.65%

Increase
Social Security tax = 7.0% funds everyone
Medicaid + Medicare tax = 3.0 % funds everyone PUBLIC OPTION
Total from ALL earned income = 10.0% SOLVENT for Safety Nets programs for everyone
