They would have been better off proposing this sooner.

The biggest challenge to this sort of thing is that it has had disastrous results in every state where it was adopted in some form or another -- including Bernie Sanders' home state of Vermont, which dropped their "Green Mountain Care" in 2014 after only three years.

Sending Bernie Sanders out to promote single-payer health care is like sending Mitt Romney out to overturn Obamacare.

Vermont abandoned single-payer health care because they finally figured out that their state budget is something like $4.9 billion per year and single payer would cost $4.6 billion....nearly double the state budget.

Taxes would have had to sky rocket to pay for this nightmare.
