@sarahkliff@ezraklein@mattyglesias Didn't you get the memo? Free care for all is a spectacularly bad idea.http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2015/10/09/senator-sanders-free-health-care-is-a-spectacularly-bad-idea/ … -
@ConoverChris@ezraklein@mattyglesias@sarahkliff It's possible to have single-payer with cost-sharing, no? -
@Prof_Richardson@ezraklein@mattyglesias@sarahkliff Single payer also is a bad idea for different reasons. Making it free makes it worse

@sarahkliff@ezraklein@mattyglesias The money's there to pay for it? You can't be serious. -
@stevo2321 It is if you consider how much we're paying in premiums right now. Those instead become tax payments -
@colinb1123 You can't be serious? -
@stevo2321 That's the argument. What's yours against it? -
@colinb1123 The government does not operate as an ins. company. -
@stevo2321 The government currently bargains lower rates than the private market with a higher cost risk pool. -
@colinb1123 Vermont, a tiny state, tried to do this just recently. The numbers don't work unless you want to pay massive tax rates. I don't. -
@stevo2321 Right. You need a big tax increase but then premiums would be virtually wiped out. Vermont failed due to lack of political will
