Showing Original Post only (View all)I Guess Steve Schmidt Didn't Watch Bernie's Town Hall Where He Said How To Pay For His Programs [View all]
Steve Schmidt on Brian Williams' show was complaining about paying for Bernie's programs is a secret. Not after tonight.
Bernie says how he will pay for his programs on his website tonight.
It is simple. Tax the folks that have 50 trillion in wealth, and hugely profitable corporations. Not rocket science. It's not like we ever asked how we were gonna pay for a tax cut for the rich, or a war right?
From me not Bernie. (below)
30 Trillion over 10 years. Yes folks, 30 Trillion. Not extra, but what we are already going to spend. Bernie is going to spend all the money we waste on overhead on actually treating sick people, and keeping the corporations to profit off the sick.
Capitalist Health Care = Pay or Die. Pretty simple.
450 Billion a year on needless overhead managing thousands of crappy plans.
Take all the insurance company employees and train them to help sick or disable people instead.
You get a benefit from the $$.
Our system is murderous. Period. If you aren't rich, or lucky, you are bankrupt and dead if you get real sick. Even with insurance.
Time to do what they do 50 miles from Bernie's house where everyone has healthcare for half as much per person, because they don't profit off sick people as much.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
