Bernie Sanders holds town hall in Hanover

[cal04]

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders spent Thursday evening just miles away from his home state, speaking to students at Dartmouth College.

The Democratic presidential candidate held a town hall and picked up an endorsement from former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Kirk.

More than 1,400 Dartmouth College students, Hanover residents and Sanders supporters lined up to hear the senator speak.

“I hope everyone understands this because sometimes we get attacked unfairly, is what this plan does of course, is end private insurance payments for the American people. So instead of making a private insurance premium payment, you make a Medicare premium payment,” said Sanders.

1. Of course, Medicare for all will cost! Question is, how much less or more will it cost than

the status quo.

Whether or not outcomes will be better, as they have been in other nations with better health care plans than ours, or worse than they are now, or the same is another issue.

It may be that, over time, some medical providers will make less. Private insurers, many medical providers and their organizations and PHRMA will probably fight tooth and nail. Don't believe the lies.
