Breaking--Why aren't we seeing the Sander's plan before Iowa?

[msanthrope]

Bernie claimed we would see the single payer tax plan before Iowa. Jeff Weaver's backed down from that deadline.

Is it because the tax increases are too great? That's going to kill Democrats down ballot.

[Warren Stupidity]

1. He's introduced legislation spelling out the details of the plan.

As you are misinformed, start here: http://feelthebern.org/bernie-sanders-on-healthcare/

The Clinton campaign, now in full desperate panikation mode, is attacking Sanders on healthcare how much it costs and how there is no plan. Both attacks are dishonest.

[msanthrope]

6. right that's the legislation he's supposed to supplement with more information.

Bernie was saying last week he would be supplementing that legislation with more information prior to the Iowa caucuses. Jeff Weaver from his campaign though is now disputing that there will be more available before the Iowa caucuses.

I think the down ballot issue is something worth exploring, don't you?

[joshcryer]

13. Do you have a link to Weaver saying this?

[msanthrope]

16. Joshua mobile right now. I'll post a link when I have it

It's on my Twitter feed, and of course I can't find it now....

Edited....it's the chart they just released showing the 7 proposals, but nothing on single payer. For some rwason, can't link it.

A problem, as it is (basically) a FAQ on a plan that has yet to be presented, compiled by "volunteers with no official relation to Sanders"?

(Note: The above is a rhetorical questions because those linking to this site, in response to calls for links to the actual plan, clearly, don't have a problem with it.)

5. Sounds like somebody needs a hug

It'll be okay. Yes, we won't have Clinton, and I know that is a sad thing for a very few people. On the plus side, we will have a functioning government.

7. No real upside at this point nt

[Alfresco]

8. Bernie Sanders says he'll reveal full tax plan by Iowa caucuses. Is he truthful or not?

Bernie Sanders to reveal full tax plan by Iowa caucuses

[morningfog]

10. Breaking? Click bait.

[whatchamacallit]

22. I know

[Alfresco]

11. Bernie's supporters can't answer the question because the details haven't been released.

[R B Garr]

12. Exactly, it's better for BS to withhold actual policy details

in favor of his applause lines. Talking about how to fund his proposals just doesn't fit in with the show.

[NCTraveler]

14. He is running a shell game. Nt

[msanthrope]

17. well the down ballot issue isn't going away anytime soon.

[mikehiggins]

15. I was just at the caucus...

Oh, wait a minute. It's two weeks away? Maybe there's still time dontcha think?

[Motown_Johnny]

18. HE INTRODUCED THE LEGISLATION IN 2013!!!!

How hard is that for you to comprehend?

The bill has been written for well over 2 years.


Feel free to attack it if you can.

[msanthrope]

20. Well, yes....but how do you pay for it? Bernie acknowledged last week that he needed

To supplement the 2013 legislation with more information as to any tax increases. That was supposed to be made available before the Iowa caucuses.

[Motown_Johnny]

21. Single payer is cheaper because you are cutting out the private company profits.

Because we would be covering everyone the overall costs could go up in the short term.

^snip^

But the plan would raise taxes. Among them would be a new 2.2 percent “health care income tax,” with higher rates for upper-income earners.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instead, single-payer would aim to slow the rate of growth in costs by putting hospitals on budgets, negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies and eliminating much of the waste that many experts believe characterizes the U.S. health care system.

Administrative savings would come from doing away with layers of insurance company bureaucracy. Those would be offset somewhat because the government bureaucracy would grow.

It may take some time for any expected savings from a single-payer system to start showing up, especially when the costs of the transition get factored in.








There is a 4 paragraph rule so I am leaving this as it is. Maybe you should try using a search engine sometime. All these answers are out there and very easy to find. At this points it seems as if you are deliberately trying to stay ignorant.
