So where will the extra $16 trillion come from to pay for Sanders' plan?

33. There is no such thing as a "German system"

"Systems" would be more accurate. "Notärtzte" are available in large cities and transport hubs, just like paramedics, and co-pays do exist for some (not all) treatments. Their first class-second class system dooms many to an early death due to the waiting time-often months for second class-to see a doctor. Emergency rooms absolutely do exist as in the States. I have taken family members to them on various occasions. "Notaufnahme," as long as we are using local terms. I don't know what part of Germany you live in, but in NRW, where I live, that's the reality.

If you have a catastrophic disease, like my wife did, AND are a German citizen with insurance, then Germany is absolutely the better place to be if you are not wealthy. If you have the money, there is no difference in care quality, though most treatments are cheaper in Germany. In the five years between the time my wife was mobbed out of her job and the time she turned 65, I had to jump in for her to the tune of around €500.00 a month for her health insurance or she would have had none. Since what we have there is an elaborate patchwork quilt of various systems, to say that we have "a" system is misleading, egal wie gut du die Sprache beherrschst.
