I think IA and NH should know what the costs are for his health care plan! Past time to be fair to Iowa and NH voters and pony up Sen. Sanders.

Under attack, team Sanders puts out chart explaining pay-fors. But no mention of health care, his biggest plan.

Maybe b/c he recalls VT plan would have hiked payroll taxes by 11.5% & income taxes by 9%!!! http://www.vox.com/2014/12/22/7427117/single-payer-vermont-shumlin?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=feature%3Atop&utm_medium=social&

Sanders' campaign manager says that his healthcare pay-for is "not necessarily" releasing "before the caucuses."

1. Costs of single care system "too big an obstacle to surmount"

...according to the linked article. No wonder Sanders is delaying releasing his "healthcare pay-for" in time for public digestion "before the caucuses."

2. Why would Democrats vote for him when they have no idea how much their taxes will go up?

4. Easy his supporters for the most part aren't Democrats

Just like him.

3. None of this is going to happen

There is a Republican party that doesn't bow to Bernie's fantasies like his fans.

6. Most logical folks agree with youl.

5. K&R!

7. CNN tells me the cost of Bernie's medicare for all

will cost 15 trillion. Here is the money quote from the article:

'His campaign released details Wednesday of how Sanders will pay his $1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan and his $75-billion-a-year plan to make public college and universities tuition-free. But noticeably absent was his plan to pay for Medicare for all, a price tag that some estimates put at $15 trillion.'

8. Well, Hillary's plan for SS has been copied, the same plan mocked

So often by many making fun of $250,000 as middle, now since Sanders changed his position it is good, amazing.

9. I am for single-payer universal heath care.

The Affordable Care Act is an incremental step in that direction.

Nearly universal health care. And then the Blue Dogs and Republican Congress and Supreme Court stepped in.

And Congress just sent repeal to the presidents desk.

America is ready for universal health care?

Not the America I live in! A political reality.
