So my brother, who gets FREE coverage under the ACA right now, will be forced to pay under Sanders?

Don't bother answering. I know you don't know. Sanders has offered no specifics on his new plan as to how exactly it will be administered. I don't think even he knows. He appears to have abandoned his old state-administered plan after Hillary pointed out how problematic that was.
