re: Senator Sanders' healthcare/tax plan.

More money is "spent" here because most of the world's medical innovation and medical research (outside of Roche Holdings) happens here. Regardless of your station in life you have access to the most advanced health care in the world in the U.S. Or we could go the way you and Bernie suggest with inferior results when lives are on the line.

Those are good points. The main point, imo, is that the useful idiots that claim that other countries that have socialized medicine spend less money than free market healthcare systems is that, under socialized medicine, the cost is nothing more than a number in a budget. That much money is to be spent. Divide that number by the number of people in the country and *poof* theres your cost per citizen. Thats why rationing and long wait times for care are common.

Its a bogus apples to oranges comparison.
