Bernie Sanders
Showing Original Post only (View all)Pfft. Howard Dean is dead to me. [View all]
He's dissing Bernie's vision of a national single payer health care system stating Hillary Clinton has the practical solution. Hillary's health care system is what we have now with the ACA, warts and all. Medicare has been proven to work since it was signed into law. Bernie wants to improve it and extend it to all. Howard called Bernie the visionary and Hillary the pragmatist. He said he's chosen the pragmatist.
Single payer is not a pipe dream. It has already been proven to work in many forms and countries including ours. To say it's visionary, like attempting to go to Mars, is very disingenuous of him. I'm done with him.

Medicare would be changed as well, starting with the elimination of deductibles.
