All posts critical of Bernie have been brigaded by downvoters. It's getting to be a serious problem of censorship.

There's not much you can do but let the community know about this. I'll be upvoting all stories critical of Bernie b/c of this.

"The Sanders plan would require $1.38 trillion—trillion! with a T!—in additional federal spending every single year. That’s roughly 8 percent of total GDP. As a comparison, the official cost estimate for Obamacare—which almost didn’t pass over concerns about its price tag—when it was passed was about $900 billion over an entire decade.* Sanders is proposing to spend far more than that every single year."

Sounds like a discount. in 2013 we spent 17% of our GDP on healthcare. That would have been 2.4 trillion ---- TRILLION yes, also with a T.
That's why the article is being downvoted, not because it's critical of Bernie, but because it's kind of a dumb argument. you can shout about the letter T all you want, fact remains it saves America money.

Single payer would be affordable if we just simply shot all the hams and olds.
