Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Thursday called for Democrats to pass Medicare for All when they take control of the Senate in January.

“Healthcare must be considered as a human right, not a privilege. That means passing Medicare for All legislation now supported by 66 percent of the American people,” Sanders said in a video. LINK

We had a top bracket tax rate of 94% of income back in the 60’s, I know most here don’t remember, but we would need to go back there if these Dems want all their wishes

And wouldn't make a scratch in the idiocy that's coming.

Publicly pushing slavery/indentured servitude. Interesting choice.

Much like affordability, they now know they can just yell out nonsense and the rubes will be like "free health care for real?" and will lap it up. No specifics required. Its campaigning to the dumbest voters out there and counting on them to be as dumb as you think they are.

Because printing money for those billions of dollars a year will lower costs for the American people!

And universal healthcare works wonders in other countries.

Everyone of these people, including their lemming voters, absolutely cannot use rational, cause and effect, thought.

Just think, if we go back to the tax rates of 90%, like in the 1940’s through the 1960’s, and add State taxes, sales taxes…. You’d be losing money to go to work, hurry up with them robots

I pay more for healthcare now than I do income tax.

And when those same voters who think they're getting it free find out their taxes are being increased 8,224,565% to pay for all of this they'll scream "Orange Man Bad". That fixes everything doesn't it?

You don't think Trump wouldn't sign that when it gives him the chance to one up Obama on his signature bill?

Because the current health insurance marketplace is such a fine example of government run healthcare.

Not calling for Medicare for all, but the current system sucks, and is a handout to crappy health insurance companies that provide zero value but rack in tens of thousands of dollars per policy holder a year while taking in massive profits.

We'd all be better of going to a straight payment system and end the nonsense.

The President will be gone in two years not six like the Senators just elected and again it won’t be Medicare. Medicare isn’t free and has monthly premiums and copayments just like private insurance. Medicaid is “free” and isn’t widely accepted and is minimal at best

Unemployment would hit 50% with all the useless people in the trough of Healthcare.

Bring it on ...

Those voters don't pay taxes. 48% of the people in this country do not pay taxes.

Also the same group getting the free handouts.

Also the same people that celebrate when conservatives are killed and consider you a murderer for not getting the fake covid vaccine.

I am curious how anyone could think a true free market solution is going to cause a depression.
