Bernie Sanders confuses me

You really don't know what you are talking about.  

Sanders has proposed two tax plan changes to the middle class.
1.  Healthcare: Increases by .75% on top of the 1.50% we currently pay.  The advantage is your deductible costs hardly anything, and no copays, so your employer pays significantly less.   With the government being the only customer of healthcare, you can bet they'll demand to pay what other countries pay.  We pay far more for worse quality, which we rank 18th in while France is 1st, and pays half as much as us. 
2.  Paid family leave.  Pay $1.65 per week so parents can receive paid time off with a newborn for 90 days.  They'd still be able to work when they can if they wanted.

If you make under $250k a year your tax bracket stays the same.  So far that those are only increases he has suggested.  

no,. you don't get it.

single payer health care isn't what you make it out to be.  52k canadian's traveled to the us last year for their health care because in the single payer system when you're ailment is classified as non-life threatening you may not receive any treatment or be required to wait and absurd amount of time to recieve treatment and ussually time the most advanced treatments aren't covered in order to keep health care affordable.

american health care may be ranked poorly overall but those numbers are absurdly skewed by the cost of health care.  the kinds of treatments availible and the quality of those treatments are fantatisic if you can afford them.   and those absurd costs is why 10 years later other countries can take cheap generics and keep low cost health care.  without the united states health care would stagnat world wide.

 

and where the fuck do you get the idea that taxes only go up for those who make more than 250k?  bernies plan raises everyone's income tax by 2.2% regardless. and that 6.2% corporate tax isn't going to just come out of busniess's massive profit margins people seem to think every company makes,.. that increase will be passed on to america in the form of higher prices for the things you buy and job losses.  and the 34.2% captal gains tax fucks everyone as that is the kind of income 401ks are,.. your retirment plan just got pillaged and you'll probably end up on government welfare despite all your best efforts to prepare for retirement.

suicide.

hilary for 2016,.. a realistic canidate for a real world. 

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.
