Healthcare is not a human right. Access to medical treatment is a right. Just because you think healthcare is a human right, doesnt mean the government is responible to pay for it. 1st amendment free speech does this mean the government should buy us all our own newspaper? 2and amendment grants the right to near arms, does that mean they must buy US the gun? We all have the right to our own religion does that mean the government has to buy us a church? Just because you think healthcare is a right, doesn't mean the government and taxpayers have to provide it for you.

@Person McPerson SMH! This is the blind ignorance Bernie spreads. Have you read the actual tax proposals Bernie has set for his medicare for all, free higher education? His proposed medicare for all, will cost the US 4 trillion dollars per year. It will double the current federal budget. Let's just say you trim 250 billion off the defense budget, your still 3.75 trillion short. The anticipated job losses from his M4A will be in excess of 3 million people! He has no golden window for his M4A plan, meaning no deductible no co pay, which experts from both sides say that will increase the actual cost by 25%. So now your real costs are another trillion. Even with Bernies tax proposals to the rich, corporations and individuals, we would need to double the existing corporate tax rate and double the personal income tax rate to pay for that. Now when the economy begins to tank which it will as soon as Bernie would be elected. There would be a couple more million laid off, so now we have M4A with a personal income tax rate of 48% on average and 5 million out of work collecting benefits and not paying taxes. Then bernies free higher education is estimated to cost tax payers 6% and as another 2-4% of student loan forgiveness. So the average american would pay 58% in personal income taxes. What you fail to understand is the fine print of bernies plan, really read it and you will see that his policies will put self-employed and small business out of business in the first year because they will be the hardest hit by his policies and taxes. Next medium to large scale corporations will be forced to lay people off immediately to reduce the proposed 10% payroll tax he wants to put into effect. He also wants to raise corporate taxes, which the US already has insanely high corporate taxes. This will force corporations to lay off, close, or leave the country.

@Person McPerson it is not a fundamental right for health insurance. If it was, these so called industrialized countries you speak of wouldnt be taxing their citizens for it. No healthcare in the world is free or a right, not in England, Norway, Denmark, South Korea, if it was immigrants, international students, international business people, and tourists would all be entitled to this so called free rights healthcare. If you wanna pay 50% of your income to taxes for "human right healthcare" then move to Denmark or any other socialist country and enjoy the 54% tax and the 200% vehicle VAT taxes.

@TheRealWhoCaresNobody well said!

@Person McPerson the reason why M4A will never work in the US is because of the insane cost of living. Look at England and the financial disaster their people are in, record high evictions, record high personal debt, almost 1 trillion per year in loan defaults. All because the cost of living skyrocketed and the taxes and VAT are outrageous people can't afford to live. This is what would happen in America, bernie has already said personal income taxes would go up pay for his policies, how much he wont say. But estimates are minimum 20%, you tell that to the single parents out there barely surviving, tell that to the people on welfare, of which they would loose under bernies plan, tell that to all the low income people out there. That they will ,loose 20% of their income.

@Person McPerson if you think personal taxes wont go up with M4A you are crazy, even Bernie said it would.

What does alleviating student loan debt have to do with anything? If people vote for Bernie based solely on student loan debt forgiveness, that is just ridiculously ignorant. Debt forgiveness will never happen, congress will never pass it. Medicare for all is impossible in the US, and congress will never pass it. Ber ie knows that, and is counting on that. So that he can blame someone else for his false promises.

@Person McPerson you approve taking 50% of americans hard earned money? My emp,oyer pays for my medical insurance, I do not need someone else paying my way. I am a responible adult, and I want more of my hard earned money, not less. Just because some 90 million lazy people cannot be responible, you wanna take over 50% of my money. I dont think so, and the fact is, the majority of americans feel the same way. Nice try tho socialist.

@Person McPerson so you say corporations and paid trolls are the reason you don't have medical insurance? Now anyone against M4A has no empathy? There was a time in my life I didn't have medical insurance, I feel what those 90 million feel. But I rose to the occasion and found a great job, with great benefits, just like every other responible human being. Let's not forget 75% of that 90 million are children not being properly cared for by their parents. Americans will never give up 50% of their pay, so you can go to a doctor while they flip the bill.

It's very simple NY Times! It tells us Trump won the reelection already. The DNC will never let Bernie get the nomination and traditional democrats will never vote for a self proclaimed socialist. Results, easy Trump 2020 win. The DNC needs to regroup and reorganize, the party is clearly in crisis and can no longer bring a cohesive goal.

You got the clap

Honestly Bernie or Pete is a bad thing for the DNC. Neither has what it takes against Trump.

The DNC will never let Bernie win! They will use superdelegates against him like they did in 2016. They will never let a socialist into a Democrat nomination.

@ChrisPhilos Bernie could only use executive power for federal student loans. Private and state funded loans would not be included as the department of education does not have control of those loans. Bernies loan forgiveness would be challenged immediately in federal court tieing it up in court for years, accomplishing nothing. The debt couldn't be written off until the court's ruling, which legal experts say would most likely be denied by federal court. The question remains, how much will this cost taxpayers each year? Higher education is estimated at $100 billion per year, and student loan debt is at $1.6 trillion. Bernies Wall Street tax would only cover half of the student debt forgiveness, and there is an expected 60% cost increase in higher education costs because of the expected new enrollment. Estimates are vague but its estimated to american taxpayers anywhere from 4-8% in personal income tax increase. The bottom line, these loans should not be forgiven, esepcially when the families in the middle to higher income brackets gain the most from this. Because a student makes the wrong financial and educational decisions, why should tax payers carry that burden. They shouldnt.
