(53,948 posts)#1 - Bernie would never, ever do anything to jeopardize anyone's healthcare. He doesn't plan to just sign the next GOP "end it" bill. A logical way to do it would be to keep the AFA, add a public option which would be Medicare, and let the system create itself. The Hillary fabrication of Bernie's intentions is unfair. You have to wonder if she's getting donations from BC/BS and the rest of the thieves.
#2 - There's a huge difference between "universal healthcare" and single-payer via Medicare For All. The OP has illustrated the point that with the current effort at universal healthcare via big insurance, she's spending a foolish amount of money out of pocket for things that aren't covered. Unless we get big insurance out of the picture, there will always be people filing for medical bankruptcy in this country.
