6. I watched the video. Where does John say how it will be paid for?

The weak spot on this is that while every candidate says they would like a system similar to what European countries have, NONE of them are willing to fund it in the way that those countries do; where EVERYONE PAYS. They all favor fantasy projections of "savings" and making "the rich" pay for everything. Neither of which will raise nearly enough to cover the true costs.
There are no honest studies to show that this is remotely realistic.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
