I think IA and NH should know what the costs are for his health care plan! Past time to be fair to Iowa and NH voters and pony up Sen. Sanders.

Sanders' campaign manager says that his healthcare pay-for is "not necessarily" releasing "before the caucuses."

@BernieSanders is out with an accounting of how he will pay for his major proposals (except for Medicare for all) #p2

(47,803 posts)There are legitimate points of debate and differences that could be raised about Sanders plans.
But instead of debating those, they chose to lie.
The Clintons portrayed Sanders as a right wing enemy of public insurance who wants to dismantle existing public healthcare and turn and turn it all over to the states to decide.
Totally, exactly the opposite of what he wants to do.
I would call that a whopper.

(47,803 posts)Expansion of Medicare for everyone, with premiums
Instead of being forced to buy extortionist expensive private insurance, Medicare would be expanded to cover everyone, in exchange for a premium based on income.

Basically 6.7% (old medicare rate) on employers
2.2% on incomes under $200K
0.02% securities transaction tax
This should be close to where he is heading.
