Related: About this forumMisrepresenting Single Payer Healthcare as simply a tax increase is a Republican tactic
And does not belong in a Democratic forum. Everybody here who is criticizing Bernie for wanting to increase taxes knows exactly what they're doing, and it has nothing to do with advancing a Progressive agenda. They're trying to distort an issue that is at the core of Progressivism and it's frankly disturbing.

Why not just go all the way and put the payments to hospital firms, doctors et al under medicare restrictions and lower those payement by half!?

Will Bernie Sanders accept Public Financing in the general?
I know that it his most likely leaning....
but it would be a bloodbath!
He can have as many Forums and giant rallies as possible....
if the Corporate media doesn't air them....
it will be very difficult for him to get out his message unfiltered
to too many of the conventional voters who watch the news,
and don't hang out on the Internet!
You know that they only have to fool enough people enough of the time!
