The New Larry King Version of My Take on Bernie Sanders Proposal to Raise Taxes but Only on Half the Middle Class
The following should be taken with one grain of salt. First Mr. Bernie Sanders version of how to fix health care. I get the last cheap shot.
Headlines Time Exclusive: Bernie Sanders open to raising middle-class taxes to fund health care
When asked in an interview in Charleston, South Carolina, on Sunday which of his big-ticket proposals would cost the middle class more in taxes, the insurgent presidential candidate said “I think if we can guarantee healthcare to all people comprehensive healthcare, no deductibles, and if we can cut people’s healthcare bill substantially.”
Sanders disputed to TIME it was a middle-class tax hike, saying it would ultimately save taxpayers money by cutting out private health insurers.
He added that Clinton’s attacks over the bills were a “distortion of reality.”
“What media sometimes does, what my opponent does, what Republicans do, is they really try to take a cheap shot. If you were paying $10,000 in private health insurance and I said to you, guess what, you ain’t going to pay that $10,000 and more but you’re going to pay $5,000 more in healthcare premiums, you’d be jumping up and down for joy. You save $5,000 on your healthcare bills,” Sanders told TIME.

But "work" in the sense of so hosing America's health care and insurance industries that the voters will demand single-payer -- it's too early to tell, but that may very well happen, and that was his and Pelosi's express purpose for enacting the law. To prevent that, we will not only need to repeal it, but to undo all the damage, some of which comes from earlier enacted laws (including HIPAA and provisions in the various "stimulus" bills passed in his first term).

If decisions were made on more plural grounds, not only would this rule out many preposterous proposals but exponentially improve those that were to be approved. Somehow, this form of "democracy" has become a far higher than average coincidence throughout the continent.
If one could add a plan to vote on each ballot, that would also determine objectives and an efficiency hearing on the goals achieved (or not). This is plausible and effective, and could actually be frequent if that were to be desired.
Now they just proscribe pot and no one cares....their to laid back .. BleedingI'm bleeding? wow far out!
My bitch is that traditional health care (read sickness care) or allopathic medicine (read, treating symptoms and not the causes) is harmful to most...some can survive it...I can not. So the level of care must be performed by myself using common sense, blood and genotype approaches and food as my health protocols. There is no insurance for this type of care and is deemed illegal to cure anything without a drug...(a sure sign the system is rigged).
The only value in the current system is emergency care if you get hurt.
I doubt MORE government intervention is going to lower anything. It is always more inefficient than what it replaced
It is time for a major draining electorally speaking, of that Washington cesspool! For what its worth!
I've seen three different versions of Sanders' proposal for universal health care, and he's given three different answers regarding how it's going to be paid for. At first, it was going to be covered entirely by increased taxes on "the rich," as though even a significant increase on the "one percent" would cover the $15T cost. Next , he expanded his definition of "the rich" to include anyone with an income of over $250K annual. Now, he's avoiding any dividing line, and saying how great it will be for everyone to pay more taxes in exchange for "free" health care.
Once a single payer system is in place, it inevitably leads to a call for enlisting the medical community into a government health service, because the costs are still too high. That was the path the UK took, and look what that's got them.
Its amazing how many idiots (sorry, that was rude!) I meant to say, how many "uninformed" voters there are out there that think this moron knows what he is talking about!!!
As they say "Stupid is as stupid does.....".
He probably does "believe' the price will come down, and he has nothing but hatred for capitalism to base it on.
