Hillary Clinton supports Obamacare, Bernie Sanders doesn't think it's enough and wants single-payer

[gobears10]

Despite the similarities in the two Democrats’ plans, however, they have a fundamentally different vision of healthcare in the United States.

Clinton has made the defense of Obamacare a key platform of her campaign, vocally supporting of the Affordable Care Act and strongly criticizing Republicans for their calls to repeal it.

Sanders has offered a more radical plan, supporting a single-payer system of the kind common in Western Europe and Canada. Sanders’ proposal would establish healthcare as a right to all U.S. citizens and be paid for through government spending. Under his plan, for-profit health insurance companies would provide only supplemental coverage.

1. Question Is

would centrist Hilary really defend ACA against republicans? A lot of things she says now you shouldn't believe.

You can believe Bernie when he says he wants a single-payer system.

2. Not only is it not enough

It's another example of public dollars being channeled into private enterprise? Why are we publicly subsidizing insurance companies??? They provide no added value AT ALL to medical care. The negotiations between insurance companies and healthcare providers obscure the actual costs and nothing has been done to address actual escalating healthcare costs.

3. A radical plan that would save trillions and provide healthcare for all.

Oh how radical that is. It's fiscally prudent and the moral thing to do. Imagine that.

5. Nothing at all would have been done had this been pushed earlier and pushing it now will clobber

Dems at the polls. This has to be done AFTER a Dem gets into the WH.
