So over ten years we will probably pay in the neighborhood of $35 trillion for medicare without Sander's plan ANYWAY.
Of course we're talking about future spending and inflation must be included because health care costs are gonna go up! If you can control the costs--which is a big IF, you might do better than Warren's 52 trillion. In fact we really do need to do something about growing costs in medical care: thus the need for Sander's plan
On Democracy Now! today left-leaning economist Richard Wolff said that most Americans don't really care about the debate they just want the healthcare. The old making sausage analogy. It's ugly, tell us when it's finished. In the Democratic Debates, I'm sick of this particular debate. Just know that we can't continue with big insurance screwing us out of medical care. Oh, and don't forget Trump is going to screw everyone out of medical care if we give him more time.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
