Funny how the only other major country that has true SP is the UK. Berniecare would be four times the size, providing he's successful in lowering per capita health costs by 60%. Which he won't because he's against tort reform, and has voted againt it twice. ALL other developed countriies have varying degrees of tort reform. If Bernie is so against for profit insurance mandated uniiversal health care, why do most develiped countries have it?
