There’s still not enough. Even Bernie Sanders knows that.

Democrats spend like rich college kid with daddy’s credit card. Don’t care who’s funding the bill but fun to be life of the party and make friends.

There is no way that is sustainable. Plus with the other add ons dropping eligibilty to 55 could double that number.

It might be cheaper if we dropped government sponsored health insurance all together and estabilshed a group of community "free" or "charity" educational hospitals to cover uninsured or underinsured patients at low to no charge like the system Louisiana had before Bobby Jindal eliminated the Charity Hospital system.

Health care has gotten expensive because the government is paying for it and the hospital administrators and insurance managers know this so they keep raising costs and formularies to keep the health care scam rolling on to pad their 6, 7, or 8 figure paychecks and cadillac health care plans, and they raise your copays and deny coverage.

1965 Medicare Act = increased demand due to government subsidy => increased prices. The idea that government (Medicare 4 All) will lead to lower prices is a fallacy. Bernie's ideas will compound the problem.

This old commie has no problem spending other people's money as long as it is for dental implants for somalians and boner pills for haitian refugees.

People don't actually care about spending.

This is so much better than Trump's policies. Can't wait to die while waiting for treatment.

Bernie Dandruff will sell off some of his houses to help pay for it.
