Why Bernie Sanders' single-payer push is great policy and even better politics

[mythology]

20. Good policy needs to be explicit about funding

He has a "sketch" of a funding plan. Considering his plan in the primaries initially claimed it would save over $320 billion on brand name drugs with the current estimate of spending $240 billion on those drugs, meaning they invented $80 billion dollars of savings that couldn't exist.

Something as big as universal health care needs a responsible approach. Sanders hasn't brought that. To be fair, neither have Republicans. Until I see how he intends to pay for this exceptionally generous plan, it's hard for me to take it seriously. There's a reason that they saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" exists.
