13. Everyone gets premiums, out-of-pocket costs, etc., will be converted to taxes, etc.

But Sanders doesn't know what it will cost. Warren says it's 73% more than Sanders.

Some people might pay less, others might pay more. Small businesses that are barely making it and don't provide benefits, will now pay taxes. Maybe that is good to get everyone covered, but I think people would like to know how much it is going to be before voting for it.

And, on top of MFA, we have to pay for climate change, jobs training, deficit and debt reduction, bolstering social security, college debt, "free" college, child care, etc. How much is that going to cost. Again, it may be worth it. But I think most people want a RELIABLE price tag on these things.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

So when you wrote Voltaire2 Feb 2020 #19

Simple -- Sanders and Warren are trying to convince us we'll get all this stuff Hoyt Feb 2020 #21

Neither of them are doing that. Instead that is a standard rightwing talking point Voltaire2 Feb 2020 #33

It is when Warren says the middle-class and below won't pay a penny. That's Hoyt Feb 2020 #36
