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.

Maybe b/c he recalls VT plan would have hiked payroll taxes by 11.5% & income taxes by 9%!!! http://www.vox.com/2014/12/22/7427117/single-payer-vermont-shumlin?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=feature%3Atop&utm_medium=social&

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

we obviously can't afford the sorts of first world benefits that the citizens of those countries have.

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.

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.

Section800-823

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.
