The Republican repeal and replace bill was a “disastrous piece of legislation” designed to give tax breaks to the wealthy, and it deserved to die in the House, Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont socialist, told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

He also admitted that the Democrats’ Obamacare has “serious problems,” including premiums and deductibles that are too high and areas of the country where people don’t have a choice of insurance plans.

“Ideally, where we should going is to join the rest of the industrialized the world and guarantee health care to all people as a right. And that’s why I’m going to introduce a Medicare-for-all single-payer program,” Sanders said. …

Does "all" include Senators and Representatives?

I thought not.

Government can not and does not guaranty such a “right.”

It oppressively stipulates the conditions under which its subjects surrender or receive redistributed income.

Dear Bernie:

Go sell your waterfront vacation home and give all that money to the poor.

Then, you can ask me what I want to do with my money.

Otherwise, you’re just a phony old shirt.

Love and kisses!

Like Lenin said ‘the goal of socialism is communism ‘. So was Obama’s plan that ‘the goal of Obamacare is Single Payer socialized medicine’.

Bernie is just trying to implement it. Seemingly with lots of help from the Ryan RINO wing of the republican uniparty.

Yes because MEDICARE requires some years or decades of payment into the system which is then limited to a defined group ( over age 65)! to manage the costs

I do not think this term MEDICARE means what he thinks if means..

There’s no messaging from the GOP. Notice how the Dems are blaming Republicans for refusing to fix something they never supported, and now they are introducing their plan.

This is exactly what the House Freedom Caucus’ masters want. This is a dream come true for the Chamber of Commerce and Club for Growth. This legislation could pass don’t kid yourselves. This will come up for vote in the middle of Obamacares implosion and right in time for midterm elections.

The Republicans propose a disastrous plan to replace an even more disastrous Obamacare. When that fails, Sanders proposes yet another even more disastrous plan as an alternative to the disastrous GOP plan. What is the one common thread on all these plans?
