The False Lure of the Sanders Single-Payer Plan

[JDPriestly]

34. I lived in four European countries. They all had single-payer.

It is simple. It is easy to fund. (Take the payments out of people's paychecks, put the money in one fund and buy some kind of insurance. Take the profit out of the insurance. Pay for dental, vision, hearing, all the insurance. Longer hospital stays, more preventive medicine, overall better medical outcomes. That's what single payer does to healthcare.)

As a consumer with pregnancies, babies and early childhood diseases and conditions to deal with, it was just great. I loved it and wish we had it.

Nothing like experience to chase away the preconceptions and naysayers.

There is a reason why the nurses union is supporting Bernie and not Hillary and it does not have to do with Bernie's gender. It's about better healthcare, better hospital outcomes and a better country.

Feel the Bern!

If you listen to the Hillary supporters and her Republican-lite fans, we wouldn't have Social Security or a lot of good programs we have. We would have charter schools and means-tested everything.

Healthcare should be paid for out of our paychecks and not impoverish us when we need it most.
