Medicare costs $630 billion, it covers 14% of the population.


The oldest and sickest 14% of the population.

Surely you, a doctor, don't think that the average annual health cost for a 70yo is equivalent to the average annual health cost for a 30yo.

Please stop trying to scare the laypeople with this shite. You should know better.

Sanders says if he can cut payments to hospitals and doctors ~45% (42-47%), his plan will only run $1.4 trillion.

So there is that . . .

Translated to income tax revenue of $1.6 trillion, even Sanders' asininity would nearly double income tax exposure.

Of course Bernie tries to divvy up that tax load into payroll etc.
