In reply to the discussion: Urban Institute analysis of Sanders Single Payer Plan: May 2016 [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)I simply said that he is someone who doesn't take criticism or change easily, and that the 2016 plan he crafted would likely not change much when presented in 2017.
The UI analysis was on the 2016 bill.
Still with me?
My understanding is that he crafted the 2017 bill and now the bill has co-sponsors. My prediction is that he would not change much from the 2016 bill. I have not seen a detailed analysis of it by health policy wonks yet, but here is a sketch of it:

But as we all know, a GOP led house and senate won't go anywhere near it, which is probably why Sanders didn't see a need to provide any details on the funding mechanisms.
You can offer the moon if you know that no one will really expect you to follow through.
