@@izregistered Our Nation was helped by you guys after the war. Thats true. But after we elected our own government and turned into a social-democratic welfare state (a bit like the scandinavian model) we absolutely increased our way of living. On our own. We HAVE public healthcare, free universities and many more stuff you don't have. We have less people (in %) in poverty and are higher educated. America was the best country to live in after the war. Now you are a the last developed nation with that massive of a poverty, violence, health and education problem. Because of people like you. And also: We germans uphold our historic memories. We know exactly what our forefathers did and are fighting to protect our free and democratic state. So STFU yourself idiot. We cannot be hold accountable this tragedies.

@ Your talking points are null and void, because every other major developed country on this planet can achieve medicare for all for less money than what the US is spending on healthcare right now. That's the truth. Here's another fact, those countries aren't communist or bullshit. Another fact is that you seemed to have ignored Bernie answering how it will be paid for. Tax on trading, payroll taxes, and income taxes. Also the phrase "thinks everything should be given to them or that the government should take care of them" is like saying I pay taxes and want nothing in return. What do we pay taxes for? When you pay high costs for insurance and then have to pay out of pocket on top of that, how is that different to taxes? When your employer is providing you with healthcare, which is part of the reason for lower wages in the US, how is that different to taxes? The US system is inefficient and overpriced compared to medicare for all systems. That's the truth. You also need to think about this from an economic view that a well educated, healthy country is going to perform stronger economically. You make it sound like when people lose their jobs and get cancer, they are freeloading off the government. This could happen to anybody and it makes sense to have safety nets in place which ultimately mean these people are more likely to stay in the workforce and contribute to the economy.

When Bernie talks about a modest tax on Wall Street speculation, he is talking about a Tobin tax. This is the name of it, so you can research it yourself if you want more info. Basically, whenever a trade is made on Wall Street, a tiny tax (usually a few cents or even fractions of a cent) is levied on that trade. Because there are millions of trades every day, this money adds up FAST, and the traders barely feel it. Additional bonus: a Tobin tax can also help prevent wild swings in the market.

Chris Whalley Bernies plans are not that Socialist, he only plans to pay for things as a collective, not making companies government owned. Kaiser and other hospitals will stay private, true socialism would make kaiser a government owned company. Things like health, and education are things that will pay for themselves in progress. When America has the healthiest and smartest people they will be more priced in the global economy. The middle class will expand as smaller companies will no longer have to pay hundreds of thousands for their employees health and having a college degree will be an extension of youth, imagine not having to grow up as fast as your parents. Being able to take as many classes before youre out in the world deciding what career to follow (WITH NO DEBT [which makes starting a business easier]) . Less pressure on highschoolers to know what they want to do in life. As a parent i would like that for my daughter.

[@chriswhalley]

Benjamin Zamora, I can appreciate that he’s not talking about government ownership, for now, but once government is paying for it then it will essentially “own” it, be-it healthcare or education. At that point, there’s no functional difference between government ownership and the collective payment system. With healthcare, I’m ok with the idea of having a minimum base of healthcare services for everyone and cost controls to ensure people don’t go bankrupt from getting sick. OTOH, our leadership in healthcare/medicine innovation needs to remain intact and I’m not hearing a funding model that supports that. On the education side, I don’t believe that allowing people to take any class they want on any topic they want will automatically result in more small business creation or a better economy. I have attended college and started a business and they are vastly different things. If people want to go to school for philosophical subjects or humanities, fine, but that’s for personal satisfaction not business creation and I don’t agree with public funding of those types of courses. OTOH, I would support some type of public assistance for trade skills, vocational training, or advanced STEM courses that directly benefit our national workforce. IMO, work is the common denominator of America and if you ain’t working, you ain’t pulling your weight.

How come we always talk about how much Bernie's health plan costs, but never talk about how the other candidates' health plans allows millions to die from lack of health care? Edit: People seemed credulous about whether or not it's truly "millions", context follows. Every year 45,000 people die from lack of access to healthcare, this is the status quo that these other politicians are fighting for. Everytime costs estimates are brought up for Bernie's healthcare plan they go by the ten year figures, that's where the 30+trillion dollar numbers (which is about the same price for keeping the status quo btw, just with less deaths) come from. I think it's fair to do the same for deaths. If you want to quibble and say "but that's only HALF A MILLION deaths in ten years... " fine. You got me, it's ONLY half a million unnecessary, totally preventable deaths. You win. On 9/11 3,000 people were killed by terrorists, and we engaged in two wars over it. In terms of raw numbers, OVER TEN 9/11's worth of needless death happen EVERY YEAR and yet we continue to do nothing about it. We are Americans, we can do better.

@@someguy53299 Yes, in the same way that the Goal of Capitalism is Socialism. Marx (who I will cite here because he is largely responsible for how these frameworks are perceived and interlink) believed that as the world progressed our economic systems changed and developed over time to better suit our society. he proposed that our ancient economy evolved and was overthrown by the medevil serf economy, which was overthrown by mercantilism, which evolved and was overthrown by capitalism. Marx then speculated that as capitalism wore on the systems natural flaws that he diagnosed in "Das Capital" would lead to the masses wanting a new system, socialism, (mind you Marx had a VERY different idea of socialism than what we thing of it now, he was after all the first person to suggest the idea, and philosophers and economists have been building on his ideas ever since his death.) but Marx and by extension Lenin believed that socialism would be a brief stop gap on the road to full communism, much like Mercantilism was a stopgap to get us from Serfdom to capitalism. the idea was that it would be a fusion of the two in order to better aid transition between to radically different systems. It's less a sinister plan and more the march of time, no single system can last forever, not capitalism, not socialism, not communism. it's all very esoteric and confusing, I'd recomend actually reading the theory behind it, "Das capital" is a good place to start but it is by no means the end of the road and neither is Marx for that matter. it's all very fascinating even If you don't agree (I certainly don't, I think marx was wrong about a lot of shit.)

pia marais You Moron, every European country is in debt. Furthermore, the health insurance funds have been plundered. The funds have been drained in part by the massive migrant invasion of 2015 who receive free health care but never paid a dime into the system. And the population who did indeed pay into this socialist scheme is not being replaced by future generations as the birthdate drops below replacement levels. We’re living on borrowed money and time. It’s called debt, and sooner or later the system will implode because the bottom will fall out from beneath us.

People underestimate the incredible amount of waste that medicare for all would cut out which would bring that supposed 30 trillion dollar price tag way down. Bernie's critics always conveniently leave that out when trying to convince people his policies are too expensive. No. Our current policies are too expensive.

Not to mention that the $30 trillion price tag that's been stamped on Medicare for all is sourced from a study done by the Koch Brothers. Everyone seems to ignore that fact and I have a hard time believing the objectivity of that study. Regardless, great point and go Bernie!

@Drew Vanheistel I think you misunderstood. 67% are against the misspelling of "Socialisme." Thankfully it's a minority of 33% that fall under acceptable literacy standards that accept the misspelling. With Bernie's plans for supercharging education, we can get that 33% the education they need.

Devil lol you have a completely distorted memory of what happened. He said he’d support whoever got the nomination even if he lost. Look at Hillary’s plan versus his plan, who’s plan is today’s current democratic platform?? His, he has completely changed the entire idea of what it means to be progressive. He has completely changed our entire political conversation by himself. That’s why he’s relevant and she’s hiding in obscurity somewhere. Lost one battle to win the war. Intelligent people can recognize that.
