This is blatantly false.

Even the politifact article points out that the Sanders plan doesn't raise what is estimated to be needed.

Also the plan seems to be cooking the books by estimating 0 for copay and deductibles where his 2013 proposed bill had both.

Sanders still undefined proposal relies on cutting more than 40% of costs. That's unrealistic at best.

So politifact can call it true, but even even they admit they can't substantiate that.
