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...

No, they wouldn't!

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.

Are the same people bitching about rising premiums and high deductibles now bitching about the possibility of eliminating them?

Yep,

Under their pure capitalist money or die system the monopoly would mean far higher premiums and deductibles...But, hey, they're all hypocrites.

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.

Yeah, just like O told us all we would save 2500 a year and then everyones premiums went up 20-80 percent to pay for the leaches. Screw govt to hell.

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.

Raising the taxes yet again on the top 5% has already been proven to fall far short of paying for it. Even Hillary knows that and that is precisely why she has challenged Bernie on it.

Which oil companies because they're paying their taxes and we're not subsidizing them. I work for one and would love to know where we could be subsidized.

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.

Most of them could care less about the Middle Class since they are not members of the Middle Class.

And you would trust the government to do that? Sorry I lost all trust in this government a long time ago.
