His solution for health care? One big idea, despite the fact that replacing private insurance with a single Medicare pool is both massively unpopular and has no actual way of passing any electable Congress. Despite the fact that existing systems (Medicaid, private insurance, the VA, etc.) are widely liked by the people using them. Despite the fact that financing reform would cause a huge number of hospitals and practices to have to consolidate, and would not solve the issue of having a shortage of GPs everywhere except the richest cities.

Similarly his idea on financial reforms is simply "break up the banks", despite the fact that he can never answer what that actually means or what he would like the post-break-up financial sector to actually look like. Does he want forced equity splits like the Bell break-up? High enough capital requirements to discourage growth past a certain size? A fire sale of classes of assets (and would this mean he thinks a less diversified financial sector is somehow safer)? No word on what this "policy" is actually trying to achieve other than meeting the mandate of a politically popular bumper sticker, "break up the banks".

Bernie Sanders is a good person, but he's single-mindedly intent on winning an election, specifically the 1972 Presidential election. That's not the race we need to win this year.
