(32,640 posts)Do you think that Sanders will walk away from this bill that he has created?
Do you think that Sanders will tolerate being made "irrelevant" to that passing of this bill?
Do you see any sign that Sanders has considered the results of the UI crunching of the actual costs he puts forth in this 2016 plan in any way but negative?
If the assumptions on what the actual costs and affects on the health care delivery are off, no amount of filling in details will make that different.
If you say to an architect/builder: "I have a budget of $300,000 want a house with 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a state of the art kitchen, a home theatre, solar panels, geothermal hvac, and a pool in the basement. Installing those solar panels and geothermal will make this project way more affordable in the long run than other homes this size," no amount of finessing the details is going to make that a reality.
