Bernie Sanders confirms his Medicare for All proposal would eliminate private insurance plans

Bernie Sanders said Monday night that under his progressive “Medicare-for-all” proposal, Americans would not be able to keep existing health insurance coverage from private plans even if they wanted to do so.

The Vermont senator told a CNN town hall that health care should be a “human right” and that the U.S. “shamefully” was the only major country on Earth “not to guarantee health care to all people.” He argued that the only “cost-effective” way to give all Americans health insurance would be with a “Medicare-for-all single-payer program.”

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer then pointed to statistics showing half of Americans get their health insurance through their employers and that a recent Gallup poll showed that 70 percent of those who get their insurance from their employers like it.

I’m not even sure what his answer means. Bernie admits that the last election wasn’t democratic, yet he still won’t call Maduro a dictator after what he’s done to his people?

Yet in 2016 he was willing to at least suggest that Trump as running to be dictator:

Trump: “I alone can fix this.”
Is this guy running for president or dictator? #RNCwithBernie

Remember back in 2016, Crazed democrats (and some Never Trumpers) were worried that Trump would become a dictator if he was elected president. So that’s the context of the time when Sanders was suggesting this.

But he won’t go near the idea that Maduro is a dictator? There’s definitely something he’s not telling us.

And then on top of that, he deflects to criticizing Trump for ‘selective outrage’!

Yet he won’t even call for Maduro’s ouster.
