Oh this is an easy one. Because your plan costs $32 trillion, and bankrupts my generation. It takes away private employer plans from tens of millions of Americans. But at least you recognize that Obamacare has not worked. We need more freedom and choice, not less.

Those who oppose Medicare for All need to explain why our failed current system should be allowed to continue bankrupting the American people. twitter.com/PplPolicyProj/…

Trying to understand why premiums to Medicare would be more than premiums to private insurance. Since Medicare doesn't turn a profit and runs at a third of private overhead

I assure you Rep Crenshaw does care. Freedom of choice on healthcare is a big issue for millions of citizens.. Our ENTIRE system of care, and quality of care will change with nationalized healthcare, so we are right to worry and question Senator Sanders.

Americans don’t need more choices for who pays...such a false comparison to actual care.

US is the only country to have bankruptcies from healthcare expenses. US spends 2X/capita on healthcare vs other countries. Health insurance is a tax—you’re just paying it to a private entity. Single payer is more efficient and provides cradle to grave coverage.

Yeah but our tax rates aren’t as high! Ok if you go to the emergency room it’s quick and cheap. Try being a 55 yr old and get a hip replacement. Tick tock tick tock

Well sense he is new to the scene, let him come up with National policy, instead of just saying I’m new and everything I say is gospel, as the democratic freshman are saying.

Your right about one thing - health care is bankrupt our generation. Here's another point you should probably think about...32 trillion is LESS than we spend on health care today as a country. 100% Private health insurance has had their chance. It's time to be bold.

It’s never been 100% private
