I asked for real answers and they just about call me names for wanting to keep my earned benefits from my miliary carerr.

1. That sounds hurtful.

2. Well, if you believe strongly that unless

a universal health care plan can be designed in such a way that not a single person will experience increased costs over what they're now paying, then the idea should be abandoned, then Sanders' plan is not for you.

Whether that makes you "bad" or not depends on the moral and ethical lens you choose to look at it through, or maybe which of the various conceptions of the idea of "justice" you favor.

4. All we've ever needed was Bernie to show us the way.

No one else has managed to do it - "they're all corrupt," of course - but now it's simple - vote for Bernie.

'Cause it was never a war to get what little we have, and never a battle everyday to keep it or make it a little better.

You all ought to start a religion next!

9. No idea who "you all" refers to.

Sanders' health care proposals are DOA in congress in the near term. No imaginable configuration of congress would pass anything like it. Nobody's taxes are going up $5,000 anytime soon to pay for a radical and complete restructuring of the entire US health care system.

The idea at the heart of the OP question is sacrifice. Who sacrifices how much to what end? If the idea is that no one ever can be expected to sacrifice the least amount to achieve universal health care in this country, then we probably won't ever get there.

6. Strict wage and cost controls go over well with Americans.

10. Nope.. simple answer. The OP is not a "bad person" for asking questions and

wanting to keep his healthcare. End of story.

12. Okay, fine.

Let's not even entertain the possibility of considering the moral or ethical dimensions of the problem, and lets not even consider exploring how it fits into a coherent conception of "social justice".

13. No need to because there aren't any.

3. Wow, just wow

I work closely with Vets in a health care setting.

My working philosophy is: thank you for your service to our country.

what I see in that thread is: /EDITED OUT/

5. I had the same

experience when I stated I was satisfied with what I had. I was called selfish and didn't give a eff about those that did not have healthcare.

7. Wow

Can you imagine Bernie trying to win the general election with this hostile advocacy?

[dlwickham]

8. You're evil and must be destroyed

Screw the haters

[DemonGoddess]

11. There is no reason

WHY you should not keep the benefits you earned from service to your country. We give so little to vets and service men and women as it is, this should never, ever be touched.

14. Wow, just wow.

I went and read through some of the responses and I was amazed. And I'm pretty sure taking from vets isn't in Sanders' agenda, so I don't know where some of those responses come from.

15. I must be a bad person, too, then.

I have 100% coverage.

But I'm glad that my grown daughter has really good ACA coverage.
