1. Yet another horrible misrepresentation of the facts

You don't have to cut any other programs to "pay for medicare for all." Just raise taxes to pay for it. The increase in taxes will be less than what people and companies will save by not having to pay private insurance premiums. The stickler, of course, is to start making american oligarchs pay taxes, but that's a problem with or without "medicare for all" as is military spending.
