Whether Bernie can get us single payer in his lifetime, maybe not. I dont know.
Are the costs going to be exactly as he now outlines? Maybe not, maybe they will be higher but nothing near what we now pay.
I am starting to think what we need is a czar under our new president, lets say our new prez is Hillary, that czar could be Bernie or some younger version, who would then proceed to resolve this issue as well as education, etc.
I want Bernie to be prez but I will gladly take HIllary if she is willing to go back and be the old Hillary who supported this.
As to younger version, I dont think Bernie cares about glory, I think he just wants it done.
He can do it but he needs help, lots of help.
