A lot of sentiment and misunderstanding going on in this thread. The bottom line is the infinite-growth paradigm is non-sustainable and electing the status-quo again will continue to stifle the economy. And then there are the intangibles that make a population better and more effective which you cannot put a price on. So you can worry about the minuscule purchasing power you have and hope that things will be just enough or you can do something about it for a better society.

Yes, public healthcare only covers a list of things.  You're more than welcome to get private healthcare on the side if you want covered for specific things.  
I don't think profit should be made from someone's health.   Wait times, US is ranked 10th.  Canada ranked 9th.   US healthcare quality ranks 18th, while France, who cost relative to their GPD is about 7% less than us and they still have the best quality in the world.
I know friends in South Dakota who travel to Canada to get prescriptions because they costs hundreds of $ less in that country. 
There are a shit load of people that do it who live near the Mexico area as well.
These corporations are sucking people dry because they literally can without government intervention. 

I was talking about two different things.  Healthcare tax will increase 0.75% (so from 1.5% to 2.25%, like I said before) of what we currently pay.   Your federal tax, you know, the largest one that gets taken out will not change if you make under $250,000 a year.  I make north of $70,000 so I am in the clear.  I have zero problems with paying a tad more for single payer healthcare.  I understand its a ridiculously complicated issue within a country with so many people, but fearing change is what people should not be doing.  

The current ACA: 44% of people who filed for bankruptcy did so because of medical expenses even though they were insured in 2015.  Ridiculous. 

That might be the case but the conclusion of that article is false. Yes taxes go up, however since health care will be payed by those taxes the cost of living goes down. So even if people earn less after taxes, that doesn't mean they have less spending power. So the real question is what happens to the actual spending power?

Also i don't see the increased tax revenue that higher minimum wages would provide anywere(though this might not be a huge amount).

Most importantly though the increased tax revenue of taking on tax evading corporations isn't mention anywhere. Wich pretty much tells you the real motive of this article.

Clearly demonstrable figures of how the funding for the proposals will be achieved.

I.E raising this tax by x% we believe will generate $X which will pay for this to be funded.

Or is it just "we'll increase taxes and this will pay for " pipeline of cool sounding things".

Then when they try to do it "oh wait it doesn't work, so you can't have that anyway, but hey, we tried!"

Yep. I recently read about American students who fled America for Germany because of their student loans. 

Was it just to avoid paying them? My wife's student loans eat over a quarter of our joint income! She lives in the UK with me now. But her parents are co signers so if she does paying, they'd go after her parents instead, which I don't think would go down well.

I think if they made tuition totally free, they'd also have to look at helping existing graduates with their repayments. Finding something in the middle lowering graduate repayments to sensible amounts (and the same for future students) would be a better place and easy to start making college more affordable.

If your financial institutions would stop taking huge risks and putting so many middle class families in debt, your debt problem wouldn't be so big. Not to mention that if more citizens can achieve better education and get better jobs, that benefits the economy and thus the US treasury.

Otherwise, I can see another debt crisis arise when the amount of people defaulting on their debt becomes too big.

No it isn't. Maybe some large corporations will finally have to pay the tax money they have been whisking away to tax paradises since decades?

Wow I though you were a conservative, Haxxiy, instead of just another pro-Palestinian.

All the way from Brazil, but still sees the evil of the Jews.

You know the state can just seize assets if they attempt to do so just to flee taxes they know they should have paid and are perfectly capable of paying.
