Factcheck.org responds to accusations in a tweetstorm from Senator Sanders re: Mercatus study

259. You don't have to be siding with the Koch's or their agenda to still privilege their talking point

here, over, what is still my opinion, Sanders righteous use of their actual numbers. It is certainly not hurting them to help promote what they meant over what their numbers said. Again, something that you refuse to address. You just avoid it every single post. Its so astonishingly consistent that I have to give you props. You've not only ignored the slant of the study, but you've also ignored consistently, the actual focus of my disagreement with factcheck's work here. I'm done responding to you on this topic since you aren't doing the work to address why my argument is wrong.

As to what is or is not universal healthcare:

How is something that doesn't provide coverage to 100 percent of US citizens universal coverage, universal coverage? If that's the argument you want to make and the definition you want to have for it, then I'll concede that I guess we all want universal health coverage, but that's a low bar. I assumed universal was something that covered a larger swath of the American population, like hey, all of its citizens , and for that matter, didnt' have vast gaps in coverage depending on the plan you purchased. Buying a plan that doesn't cover you when a specific thing happens to you is not exactly what I'd call having coverage. But to each their own when it comes to what Universal Helathcare means....I guess. I mean, on that one you've got me at a loss.
