Bernie Sanders likely wants to raise everyone's taxes to pay for universal health care, but promises it will be worth it.
The Democratic presidential contender has long promoted a single payer health care system, which would eliminate the private insurance market in favor of a government-run program. He calls it 'Medicare for All. Sanders' plan for health insurance is now in the spotlight, with rival Hillary Clinton demanding that he reveal how he'd pay for it. Her campaign contends it would require raising taxes on the middle class by 9%.
Sanders has waffled on whether he'd unveil details before the Iowa caucuses next month, but said the plan would be similar to legislation he introduced in Congress in 2013. Under that proposal, the middle class would ultimately save money, he says

Bernie Sanders would raise taxes to get your toe nails clipped. Sanders needs no excuse to raise taxes. His fevered, Marxist brain thinks your money belongs to him.
Likely? lol
The hell you say.
Hey, he wants to give out free College, I say then give out free medical, free legal, free accounting, free everything.
Psst: Hey Bernie - howya gonna pay for that free college thing too?
Oh, right, you’ll just spend the same money twice like every other liberal does.
“At which point I’ll stop working like a dog and join the Handout Brigade.”
You and about 100 million others, including me.
This is really our ultimate power, we should remind the Libs and GOPe of this more often.
Gee ya think?
Americans need ethical honest responsive political leaders that put the USA and American citizens first for a change.
What do we typically get but corrupt politicians that put the status quo; their Party elites; global corporations; oligarchs that would sell out the USA in a second; more voters even if illegal immigrants, etc if it helps the Party; and puts other countries first. We are moving towards major turmoil in the USA if they don’t get the message that we want OUR COUNTRY made great again and not the world or political correctness.
I only want a president and Congressional leadership that understands the meaning of the USA Constitution and making America great again. I’m tired of their weasel mouthed BS on both sides that is intended to divide the USA on trivial stuff while making their donors rich.
Paul Ryan proposed tax increases called ‘fees’ in his deal with the Democrats a few years back when Ryan chaired the Ways and Means Committee. The deal also cut military pensions.
By 2017 our 20 trillion dollar plus debt will be clamoring for loan payment money like people have to increase credit card payments when the balance goes up.
Benefits will be cut and taxes increased regardless of who is in power because the debt will have to be covered with loan payments.
For decades the perceived standard of living in the USA has been inflated by a government of fools that uses the credit card rather than reducing debt.
They don’t get it and they don’t give a damn and they don’t work for us. That’s why they allowed global corporations to outsource our jobs to Japan thru China, and allowed NY bankers to lose and then steal our money and to send us the bill.
Well that is a shocker. Not really.
I’m in favor of compulsory universal health care:
1. Compulsory universal health care will save the average family of four $2500 a year.
2. If we like our doctor, we will be able to keep our doctor. Period.
3. Compulsory universal health care will reduce the overall cost of medical care in America and increase quality.
4. Compulsory universal health care is completely and totally constitutional. It’s a tax; nothing more. Ask Chief Justice Roberts.
5. Compulsory universal health care will guarantee everyone equal access to high-quality medical care.
This will be everything Obamacare was, and more!
