I agree with the concept of what you’re saying but a wall cost a lot less than healthcare for 330 million people. Rough estimates the wall at 8 billion which equates to only $25 per person and that’s a one time fee expect for routine maintenance but healthcare is a never ending expense and cost a lot more than $25 per person. Again I get he concept of what you’re saying and healthcare is more important than a wall but the numbers do not come close to equating

[@kathleenroberts3086]

J T nope. You should do more research on the topic. The wall would cost over 25 billion, and would take up to 20 years to actually build. Then comes maintenance. Healthcare is significantly less.

[@JT-wc3hr]

Kathleen Roberts there are only estimates of what it would cost and I’ll give you I chose the low end of 8 and it does go up to around 25 billion but even at 25 billion that’s still only $75 per person in the US and that’s a one time fee to construct. Yes I mentioned that does not include routine maintenance but healthcare cost an estimated 3.5 trillion annually which equates to around $10,000.00 per person which is significantly more than $75. I’m sorry but any way you look at it a wall is cheaper than healthcare for 330 million people. I’m not saying the wall is more of a priority but it’s certainly cheaper

[@sylviarohge4204]

@@ilovedogs6249 Most people don't go to doctors or hospitals for fun. Not even in countries like Germany, Sweden, France etc. where health care is free of charge (you pay the chosen public health insurance directly via your monthly salary). What Berny Sanders proclaims is a social market economy. The German system is an example of this system. The state health insurance companies are structured as non-profit-making companies. They are in competition with one another. Due to the competition, they are also dependent on working as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Additional insurance can be purchased by the citizens (e.g. better dentures, single bed, head physician care, etc.). And if you have an income limit of over € 60,000 a year, you can switch from state to private health insurance. Switching from private to state insurance is more difficult. This is to prevent private insurance companies from simply dumping their old members (the costs increase with age) into the state insurance companies. So everyone who earns enough is encouraged to think about whether they can still afford private insurance in old age. The average cost (what the German pays for health insurance per year) is ~ 4500-5000 € per year. In public health insurance, children are automatically insured by their parents.

Yea, THIS employer MAY give you good health insurance but we know companies will change at the drop of a hat AND people just don't work for only one employer throughout their lifetime. Every time you change jobs you'll have to worry if that employer has good insurance.

[@TheBubbleoh]

Well, I live in germany and in our health care system your employer pays half of your insurance. There are different insurance companies to choose from. It doesn't matter if you chance your job, you will stay with the insurance company you choose. It depends on which system is implemented.

Bernie didn't mention all the fees, insurance, and other expenses you won't being paying. Auto insurance and home insurance premium will cheaper with no medical liability.

I think they cut out important parts of the healthcare part where he explains a study that says that federal spending (through taxation) increases under his system BUT overall spending goes down by 2 trillion dollars, so we SAVE money from what we are currently doing. Bernie repeats this literally over and over again, so we are left to believe that these journalists who keep asking these questions "Ask senator sanders how he's going to pay for it" either are the WORST at their job which involves researching before going live, OR they are what most of us dread: 'intentionally' doing this.....
