Note the word "instead". Spending OUR tax dollars on things we want and need versus things politicians and corporations want and need, sounds pretty great.

The problem with it is that you are then forcing people into a system where they are forced to subsidize things they do not agree with and that are highly controversial that get lumped under the unbrella of "health care." By creating a system that is single payer, it also generally rules out a system where those highly controversial things can be left in a separate system that leave people the freedom to leave themselves in or out as they wish which at least creates some separation because those private systems are either extremely expensive in a socialized health care system or generally outlawed.

One would think they would consolidate medicare, and medicaid in to one.
They don't, and they won't.
They want something 'different'.
That isn't different.
It's their way, and anyone that disagrees is 'hitler' or some other pejorative.

Many economists agree that Bernie's economic plan would actually save money.

Well you know that is their actual job assigned by the US Constitution, spending money... the trick is to make it less lucrative for them to do so.
