Sanders Rocks The Democratic Debate By Dropping A Medicare For All Bomb In SC

There has been a lot of speculation on Sanders plan for single payer medical. Today I found he has recently released some information on his Medicare for all healthcare plan.

fyi In case you did not know Hillary looked into a national medical program during Bill's presidency. She said medicare for all would be the best solution, but it could not be done. Hillary said you can not fight the big money involved, or as I see it, she could not pass up the large donations from the medical industries.

Just hours before the next Democratic debate in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders has dropped a bomb by unveiling his detailed Medicare for all healthcare plan.

Sanders Plan:

Here are the details from the Sanders campaign:

In a nation that now spends $3 trillion a year on health care – nearly $10,000 per person – Sanders’ plan would save consumers money by eliminating expensive and wasteful private health insurance. The plan would save taxpayers money by dramatically reducing overall health care costs and bringing down skyrocketing prescription drug prices which are far greater in the United States than in any other country.

The typical family earning $50,000 a year would save nearly $6,000 annually in health care costs, Friedman calculated. The average working family now pays $4,955 in premiums for private insurance and spends another $1,318 on deductibles for care that isn’t covered. Under Sanders’ plan, a family of four earning $50,000 would pay just $466 per year to the Medicare-for-all program.

Businesses would save more than $9,400 a year in health care costs under Sanders’ plan. The average annual cost to the employer for a worker with a family who makes $50,000 a year would go from $12,591 to just $3,100.

The shift to universal health care would be paid for with a 2.2 percent health care premium (calculated under the rules for federal income taxes); a 6.2 percent health care payroll tax paid by employers; an estate tax on the wealthiest Americans and changes in the tax code to make federal income tax rates more progressive.

Under the plan, individuals making $250,000 to $500,000 a year would be taxed at a rate of 37 percent. The top rate, 52 percent, would apply to those earning $10 million or more a year, a category that in 2013 included only the 13,000 wealthiest households in the United States.

Additional savings would be achieved from reducing outlays for taxpayer-supported health care expenditures.

And Newt Gingrich

And did he also detail how he:

1.) Plans to make the current Medicare system solvent given that it's going bankrupt.

2.) Plans to pay for the drastic expansion of Medicare under his proposal once he fixes #1?

That is my question as well.

I shouldn't be forced to buy anything just because I exist!

Sounds good but can it work?

a reply to: ketsuko

Pentulant and ****** little boys and girls. Some never grow up.

a reply to: AlaskanDad

I'm just a person uncomfortable with government mandated control over my life. So you're cool with it.

That's your business.

I'm partial to freedom.

Why would you want to opt out? I just spent 6 days in the hospital and the total bill was 52,000, not something I would want as a full bill.

I want the same kind of health care my congressmen and representatives have. I don't think that's to much to ask.

a reply to: forkedtongue

No one could 'opt-out' any more then you can 'opt-out' of Social Security, Medicare or, for that matter Sales Taxes. But you would be covered whether you like it or not and could never be a 'drain' on society (by have to pay extra just for your invincible self when your time comes).
